In the end, there are a myriad of problems that face space exploration. Some of them are small
Space. The final frontier. There are approximately one hundred billion galaxies in the universe with many solar systems in each galaxy and many planets within those solar systems (How do we…). The Milky Way Galaxy is close to 100,000 light years in diameter(Diep) with each light year spanning 5.87849981 x 10^12 miles . In comparison, the earth is only 7,917.5 miles in diameter(Coffey). Within and on the earth itself, there are still great mysteries, and so it comes as no surprise that a giant area such as space holds so much mystery. One of the most recent fascinations to astronomers has been asteroids, meteors, meteorites, and comets. These space rocks are found

Attention Getter: Let’s look ahead fifty years and see what the world is like. Imagine a world that is in total war with no end in sight. The cause behind this war is simple, oil. Everyone is fighting over those last few reserves of oil. How can this future be prevented? The answer is solar power.
This places the new planet more or less in the Kuiper Belt, a dark realm beyond Neptune where
The size also awards it the title of being bigger than Eris, a mini-planet that circles Neptune in the Kuiper Belt.

It is giant, rip in space in which everything is sucked in. A black hole sucks everything within a certain vicinity inside of it depends on how large it is. If a coin sized black hole were placed at the center of the earth, the earth would be destroyed. But not all of the earth would be sucked in only a partial amount. However all life on that side would be obliterated. Asteroids are a big factor in the role of destruction. Imagine yourself inside a drifting spaceship in the middle of nowhere and a giant rock is hurtling towards you. Pretty scary right? Well that’s pretty much what it feels like when an asteroid is hurtling towards you. If an asteroid hits your ship you’re pretty much screwed. The asteroid could puncture the ship and suck out all the air inside, then you will have to fix the exterior manually. Which exposes you to more problems. So asteroids are not a good thing. Air is also a big factor in space. What happens if your in the middle of exploring and your air runs out? I think you know. Red light flashing on the side of your helmet a rock has punctured your suit depleting you of your oxygen. Next thing you know your crew leaves you behind and you’re stranded on Mars. That's actually from a movie, but you get the point right? Good well, I haven’t covered all of space but if I were to we’d be here the rest of our lives! So that’s all i’m
“Nearly 209,000 Americans work in solar - more than double the number in 2010 - at more than 9,000 companies in every U.S. state. By 2021, that number is expected to increase to more than 360,000 workers” (SEIA).
Global climate change has fundamentally transformed the way civilization views the energy of the future. As evidence of the drastic consequences of nonrenewable energy has become more widely accepted, society has embarked on developing innovative solutions to the energy crisis. In areas that experience prolonged periods of sunlight, solar panels have become a sustainable and cost-effective form of renewable energy. The Mojave Desert, located in California and Nevada, has proven to be one of the most promising areas for solar development (The Nature Conservancy). Fortunately, BrightSource Energy has invested $2.2 billion in the construction of a solar farm in the Mojave Desert region (Cart, 2012). The development of solar projects creates a
This issue has stopped some politicians in their tracks and has complicated the process of building solar farms. Politicians have spent a long time debating this. Instead, a rule could be passed that restricts the areas in which solar farms can be built. These areas should have low economic value (i.e. swamps, desert land or rooftops). The slowdown of the process may hamper our efforts of bettering our socioeconomic lives as well as the environment.
To conclude, I would like to say that CDL has immense opportunities and necessities for global expansion considering their good financial position and high domestic competition. CDL has been the market pioneer in number of its businesses in the past and should continue with the trend to stay as a market leader.
Due to the large number of space exploration projects, a large belt of debris has formed that can be hazardous to other operational spacecraft. As engineers, we have an ethical responsibility to prevent pollution of Earth’s atmosphere. We have learned a hard lesson on the value of environment from right here on Earth. Trends show that the debris belt circling the Earth will only get bigger, and become more hazardous to spacecraft.
Space can be unsafe. In profound space we would kick the bucket immediately unless ensured. Our
