Breakthrough Starshot: The Future Of Aliens

Americans love the idea of space and staring up at the stars. They are driven to explore and discover what man does not know, and the spirit of exploration inspires society to create and invest towards the possibility of changing the world. Nevertheless, Americans dislike paying higher taxes to fund these programs. Therefore, it makes sense to figure out new ways to expand the way NASA is funded. The

Throughout history humanity has been fascinated by the existence of extraterrestrial life. Today such ventures are in the development process and the discovery of life beyond our solar system, no matter how primitive, may soon become a huge(important?) scientific breakthrough. The three basic things that are required to consider a place even remotely habitable are water, a source of energy, and organic materials. Habitability also depends on other factors that must also be taken into consideration such as how close the planet is to its star (in the case of our solar system, the sun), how long the water and organic materials existed there, and the size and mass of the planet. One must not confuse habitable with inhabited. The term

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is one of the leading organizations in space technology and research. In the past 60 years, NASA has sent numerous satellites, telescopes and crew modules into space. Despite drawbacks in launch failures and lack of funding, NASA continues to focus on its mission in space exploration and technological advancement. One of NASA’s projects is to explore deep space, in which entails a manned missions to Mars, exploration of the asteroid belt, and beyond. With these goals in mind, NASA has engineered new rocketry and even created a program to better allocate costs of such conquests. With these new advancements, NASA has created a new age of how space travel is carried out.

The push into the vastness of space will encourage technological innovation, yield vast scientific benefits, and follow mankind’s legacy of exploration. Thus, America and the world should undoubtedly continue space travel so that mankind is absorbed entirely in Earthly troubles, but remembers its greater place among the stars. For as President Obama observed in his 2010 address to NASA, “space exploration is not a luxury, it’s not an afterthought in America’s quest for a brighter future -- it is an essential part of that quest”

One large project that is being pursued is colonizing mars with a human population. This will mold the future and newer generations. It can make us question the future and what lies ahead. It has been said that it will take no more than 50 years to fulfill the colonization of mars.

The NASA space program has had enormous impacts on the world. Thanks to NASA the United States has explored thousands of celestial bodies throughout the galaxy with telescopes, rovers, and in the moon 's case, people. In the next decade, NASA plans to expand the United State’s human exploration to more than just the moon. A Mars mission has been in NASA’s eye for quite a while now and with technology advancing every day, they feel it is time to send men and women to the red planet. Some believe the journey could prove too dangerous for humans; however, through research and development scientists can find ways to safely transport astronauts to and from Mars. This is a necessary step in the country 's advancements in health, technology and

Every year there 's new things that come out, as technology grows we are able to do things with lasers and high

As humans, we always push to explore for new discoveries, it is in our blood to explore and push scientific boundaries. Space exploration has allowed us to expand our technology, foster a curiosity in humans, discover new worlds, and most importantly push even further to discover life in a new planet. With the advancement of new technology and innovators, there has been a significant discussion whether sending humans with the support of robots is the most efficient method. However, there are great arguments made that sending exclusively robots on space exploration is the best strategy. There is

Though this is not exactly a kid in his backyard pointing a laser into the eyes of an airline pilot, these lasers will need a lot more energy, requiring a continuous 30-MegaWatt laser for about 10 hours for one day every year. They believe the usage of this mega laser would cloak the biosignature of the Earth from universe probing

In the future NASA is looking forward to sending four astronauts to mars. They will be traveling on the Orion spacecraft. They will be launching from the Space Launch System in Florida. The Space Launch System when finished will be NASA’s most powerful rocket they have ever created.The rocket needs to be so powerful so it will be able to travel 225 million kilometers.

The Department of Defense invested over two billion dollars in laser weaponry in the early 1980s. Their reasoning behind the investment was laser weaponry is a high speed destructive beam that is less vulnerable to electric countermeasures and, in theory, is cheaper than firing tactical missiles. Depending on the type of laser, the types of missions will vary, such as, antipersonal lasers should theoretically “cook” soldiers with a microwave beam and cause flash blindness. Laser weaponry will attack electro-optical sensors by overloading its associated electronics to damage components successfully. Beam weapons will be built into ships, fighter planes or cargo planes if proven successful in laboratory testings. Hecht concludes discussion of

NASA, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (ALP) and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) cooperates and develops the New Horizons in 2001. It replaces the cancellation of Pluto Kuiper Express Project by reason of expenditure budget, and continues the discovery mission of Solar System. Under the leadership of Sol. Alan Stern, New Horizons was successfully built and launched in 2006. With the inspiration from Ulysses (one of the space probes orbits around the Sun and study its features), New Horizons carries 7 advance instruments in order to improve the quality of observation:

“The next wave of human exploration will take explorers farther into the solar system — developing new technologies, inspiring future generations and expanding our knowledge about our place in the universe” (NASA 2)

How many times have you heard the question: are we are alone in this universe? Chances are that you have heard it more times than it takes Shaquille Oneal to sink a free throw. Is there such a thing as a UFO? Are there aliens that live in this world? Those are two questions that can't be definitely answered, and you can bet that NASA is not going to talk about it. However, there are reasons to believe that there is both UFO and alien existence in this world. So, NASA, you better make sure you're listening.

Currently, it is very difficult to send humans and spacecraft anywhere in space, let alone out of our own solar system. The cost and risk involved in sending people and objects into space have not stopped humans from achieving impressive missions over the past 70 years. We have sent humans 248,655 miles deep into space and space craft 11.7 billion miles from the Earth. Although we are making strides in furthering our space exploration, there are still steps being taken to travel further than ever imaginable. With new and improving technology, scientists and others, are trying to find ways to make it into interstellar space and beyond. Stephan Hawking and a Russian billionaire unveiled their plan for an interstellar nanochip that could make it to Alpha Centauri in 20 years. This may seem very exciting, but there are a few road bumps in the way to get the technology where it needs to be.
