In addition to those health concerns Space travel weakens the body’s immune system and alters infectious diseases‚ making them more potent and resistant to antibiotics (Webster). Dr. Cheryl Nickerson‚ an associate professor in Tulane University’s department of microbiology and immunology‚ states‚ "It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that infectious disease could be a real show stopper in space flight‚ as we start sending people out on two- to three-year missions

of the new area. By researching on Mars and in Mars physics‚ we could set the rudimentary foundation of possibly in the distant future terraforming Mars for human inhabitance. For all of these reasons I urge you to support Bush’s plan for Mars exploration. Starting with my first reason of the possible reducing of the price tag‚ as I said before‚ can be easily accomplished. NASA’s prediction of the total spending that will take place for the Mars trip is exactly what they said it was‚ a prediction

Opinion Piece #1 It is my opinion that if given a choice between a robotic and a manned space based exploration‚ it is better to execute a robotic mission. It is not worth the cost and risk for humans to simply explore space‚ except when the goal is specifically colonization. First‚ a manned mission would be much more technically complicated than a robotic one outweighing any incremental benefit resulting from a human presence. Second‚ the financial cost of manned missions to overcome the

Response 1: Dave Gilbert’s “Space Harpoon Plan to Nail Orbital Garbage” Summary The article Space Harpoon Plan to Nail Orbital Garbage talks about this invention called a “space harpoon” that will eliminate only some of the space debris that is in earth’s low orbit. There is a lot of space debris that can cause future problems with the everyday technology that people use. An engineer‚ by the name of Jaime Reed‚ warns that the low-earth orbit may become unusable from the space junk if not removed. It
