To conclude my argument I can definitely say that space exploration is worth the cost. It generates wealth for America and can broaden the knowledge of many people across the country. As Kennedy said in his speech, “...we shall climb this wall with safety and speed and we shall explore the wonders on the other side.” With all the progress that has been made, humans can decide that space is indeed a

Space exploration is an inherently worldwide endeavour that attracts broad international interest and affects people all across the globe producing knowledge, capabilities, and relationships that help society deal with some of the most pressing long-term global challenges. Another popular benefit of space travel is the jobs it creates. The fact that a space agency and its network of contractors and universities help people stay employed is amazing. More than 18000 people currently work for NASA and many more people work for the company as government contractors. They are hired by companies that NASA pays to do work for them. Now we’ve been told by recent study that there is 11,800 jobs to be created per year by space

Some people may argue that space travel should only involve robotic missions and no longer should involve human missions. This is because for every human you send into space, the expenses are vastly increased, and they think the money could be used for a more practical use. For example, it costs about $20,000 per pound to send into space, so to send a human into space the expenses will be very high. For every one human you send into space you could send about 100 space probes (TAM Discussion). Although this is true, the expense for traveling into space is very expensive as is, let alone traveling to a new planet or even galaxy. In order to financially be able to send technology and robots on these missions, we have to find a way to decrease the cost and make rockets and other spacecrafts more efficient and affordable. By decreasing the amount of money it takes travel into space, the more practical it will be to send humans on missions alongside robotic missions. The only way to do this is by getting the people and communities around the world involved. The more people working towards a solution, the faster we will come up with an answer.

Space exploration is dangerous when you get back on you will have a hard time walking on earth you will have motion sickness. Space exploration would cost a lot of money it will cost 1.7 billion dollars to explore space and where are where going to get all that money.

American citizens have to pay taxes and some of that money is going towards space exploration. With a 12.7 trillion national debt and high unemployment in the United States, Americans simply aren’t willing to invest in human spaceflight right now (Naeye). America is not in a financially stable place and people feel the money should be used to do more useful things such as funding schools and repairing roads. However, American citizens are only having to pay 33 dollars a year to fund these programs (Life’s Little Mysteries Staff). Also, exploring space is very useful because exploring space has helped scientists learn many facts about all the planets, suns, and moons in the solar system plus about the other systems out

To support the ideas space exploration brings, one must look at where the people’s taxes are going and if these ideas are worth the financial trust the citizens put into their government. Source A explains where the taxes from salaries

First of all, I would assume the cost to travel to space would not be dirt cheap. Some people argue that the costs are overwhelming and unrealistic, as it says in paragraph 5 of“Civilians In Space”. You would have to own a lot of money and only some people could not afford that. Also, the passage says that people also point to the billions of dollars that would have to be raised through consumer or corporate sponsorship. That might cost as much as building the Great Wall of China! Still not convinced? One more reason up my sleeve.

This reminded me of an article I read about the invention of a space elevator which is said to be able to greatly reduce the cost of space travel.

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

For Example the Curiosity rover cost 2.5 million dollars. This exploration was one million dollars over budget. This technology helps us though instead of having people die going to different planets we can explore the space without sending people. It also gives our society new technology from these explorations. Another difficult aspect of space exploration is the time it takes to find a possibly habitable planet.

Once said by Albert Einstein “Two things inspire to awe - The starry heavens above and the moral universe within”. Space has fascinated people around the world wondering and asking questions like are we ever going to explore beyond our planet and even the solar system, or what new technologies are going to be made from space exploration, what benefits have we already seen from space exploration, and countless more. Society has benefited significantly from space exploration and all the new advancements, innovation and new ideas it has brought us. the beneficial effects that the economic, social, and health aspects of the society sees from space exploration proves we have a definite need to continue funding for future space research because of

While using robots is the cheaper route to go sending humans actually has certain advantages over sending robots into space. For example, humans don't have to wait react to their surroundings because they're waiting on commands to be sent from earth. There are those that think it will be extremely difficult to continue learning more about the solar system if the only focus is on trying to cut cost by only sending robots out into space. Humans and robot should continue working hand in hand because without the use of robots, we really wouldn't know the layout and dangers of the places we're sending

Space exploration has and will continue to provide a large boost to the economy. “Missions such as the launch and operation of communications and remote sensing satellites, scientific satellites and, of course, military surveillance satellites, have been the stock-in-trade of the commercial sector for decades, and represent an industry worth S300-billion annually.” (Watson, 2013) Not only is there a lot of money in the business of sending

Introduction: For years robotic technology has depicted fictional humanoid robots in movies and television, consequently peaking our imagination of artificial life forms. No longer are humanoid robots fiction, but reality as roboticists have been developing them not only with an appearance based on a human body but with humanlike sensory and movements. Moreover, humanoid robots are performing human tasks from industrial to service jobs and can survive in any kind of environment. The advancement of robotic research involves the fields of science, cognitive science, programming and engineering (Cheng). Some people consider humanoid robots a threatening force because they feel they are not safe, they will take over our jobs, or are uncomfortable with their

Over the course of human history there has always been a strong drive to explore and travel to new and exciting places. Space exploration has captured the imagination of the general public for the last 30 years; it is only natural that people are now beginning to ask if and when they too might venture into space. Space and tourism have both developed at an equally rapid pace, and the potential of both together is definitely going to grow further. Although human spaceflight is currently the privilege of a few space-exploring nations, recent advances in space technology and entrepreneurship are about to change the status quo. China, with the assistance of Russian technology, was able to place an astronaut in space in 2003 in a fraction of the time that it took other space powers, such as the USA and USSR, to do this. The first credible private space-tourist venture is already a reality. The first space tourist, Denis Tito, flew in 2001 in a government vehicle, although his flight was privately funded, whilst in 2004 the first spaceship became a reality.
