Persuasive Essay On Asteroids

Stars, mankind has been staring up at them for thousands of years. Over those many years dreams and mythology have been created to explain those lights in the heavens. Mankind grew sick of just staring, and decided to find ways to discover more about it. Eventually over hundreds of years mankind has, been able to send men to the moon, launch satellites into space, and even send rovers to Mars. These feats of science would have been unimaginable hundreds of years ago, and to others that heard of it was only science fiction. With all these accomplishments, it seems humanity has a bright future of further discovery, but a recent development has surfaced regarding Space Exploration. That debate regards the future of space Exploration, and whether or not It should be continued through NASA or private companies. Various opinions have come from all over the scientific and astronomy concerned world. Others side that NASA should continue its lead into the future, because of its contributions to discovery and the scientific world. Others blame that NASA’s lack of progress in previous projects has lead to a disbelief of Nasa, and a turn to Private industries due to their smaller budgets and recent success. Even some see a balanced future of NASA working with private companies, and even healthy competition that will allow a faster progress into the future. Mankind has always had the desire to reach the unreachable, and it cannot go forward

Although space junk may seem trivial,it is in fact crucial in terms of today's concern over everyday life. Apparently Nasa has just been throwing it out the window into our atmosphere, which is causing a gigantic problem. Some experts say there are just some things like satellites they cannot take back to earth. They say that they would only do it in in rare cases. If they take the things up there how come they can't take back it down to earth. They are trying to find a way to bring the trash back.

Imagine all of the understanding of deep space, living on Mars, origins predicting, and competition in the current world. Datas evidence shows there are more and more asteroids in the past years and if we do not know anything about this our world would not be prepared. NASA wants to fund learning so we can examine the asteroids and collect data also, the world wants to know more about space and what is out there. According to the Tunguska Meteor Impact “At that moment there was a bang in the sky and a mighty crash… The crash was followed by a noise like stones falling from the sky, or of guns firing. The Earth trembled”. From this huge impact meteor, we can learn from this big effect it had and we have learn a lot about it from our technology and

No one ever said that space was not meant for us to explore, who is to say that the oceans were meant for us to cross into America? Since the beginning of time, man has been fascinated with the thought of the sun and stars. From the first step on the moon at 10:56pm on July 20, 1969 the sparks of curiosity of how far NASA can go have been wondered for many years.

Although it may seem that we do not have problems in space, we actually do, asteroids are coming earlier than ever before in the chart Known Near-earth Asteroids claims that in 1986 there were barely 2000 NEAs and in 2013 there was over 12000! This shows that we need to prepare for bigger asteroids that could come at anytime! Imagine how that chart could go up in the next decade. NASA should fund asteroid studies because they could come up with a way to defend our earth from big asteroids.

The mysteries of space and ocean have always struck our attention. The question “what’s out there, what creatures live there, do water monsters and aliens exist, always pop up. However, could the risks become a barrier to our curiosity? I believe that major exploration could be a benefit for our society and our way of life. I think that major exploration could benefit us because we have a chance of finding resources, predicting the future of the planet, and provide us with advanced technology.

Druidia is in peril! After planet Spaceball depleted it’s precious air supply, President Skroob has ordered evil Dark Helmet to kidnap princess Vespa to hold her hostage in exchange for their air!

In 1957, the two Cold War rivals, the United States and Soviet Union, competed for superiority over space traveling abilities. The dispute over who won the space race is unimportant, because both countries brought new advances in technology and inspired millions around the world. However, space exploration should not continue because it spends millions of tax dollars that could be used on Earth, and because it could disrupt and destroy the planet.

The ongoing wonder on whether or not extraterrestrial life exists is not going to go away after this news. UFO researchers unveiled yet another NASA image of the sun that they claim is a spacecraft. However, NASA, who usually never comments on this kind if stuff, talked a little bit about the supposedly new discovery.

There has been a lot of talk about mars. Out of all the potential options, most have settled that mars is the best for humans. The enthused Frank Stratford, in an article, says, “let’s do this thing…Let’s approach this with the benefits of six decades of spaceflight, push through the costs and in one risky megaproject of settling Mars, reach to the benefits of advancing… so that we and future generations can grow from our new discoveries on Mars.” Indeed, Despite inherent risk, colonizing mars is both a priority and a goal for the advancement of our species.

So many adults and young people alike are in awe of the seemingly limitless skies that are made visible on a clear night. But while we stare in wonder, without the help of space-borne telescopes, we could only imagine what threats the cosmos has to offer.

In 1905 Pervical Lowell was the fist person to notice Pluto and he started observing Neptune and Uranus and he observed a similarity from this two planets and Pluto. After almost 25 years Pluto then was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh and like it was stated in the “Pluto files” Core Friday, Pluto was then named after an 11 year old girl who told her grandfather that “the new world get its name from the Roman god of the underworld “ from there her grandfather passed the name on to Lowell Observatory. Pluto was once consider the ninth most distant planet from the sun , but in recent years research have found that Pluto after all does not fit most of the characteristics that other planets do therefor they have reclassified Pluto as one of the largest dwarf planet in the solar system.

The asteroid 2016 HO3 has been looping Earth for at least a century. Scientists are not willing to call asteroid HO3 a moon because it orbits the Sun not the Earth. It is important for NASA to have a department dedicated to keeping or planet safe a they can keep missels from hitting us and comets and asteroids from hitting Earth. THe most interesting part for me was when it talk about the asteroid orbiting the sun then chaning to earth it was interesting because I thought it was cool how it orbited around the for half the year the Earth for the other

Because astronomers, when provided with the proper resources, are able to determine the rick of asteroid impact, should be granted government money to find near-Earth asteroids. As stated before, though the risk of collision is low, asteroids serve more purpose than simply collision probability. By collecting asteroid samples or collecting evidence from observation, asteroids can provide information on the complex mixtures of metals and rocks that could have existed in the interstellar cloud after a supernova explosion. In terms of political policy, this would be considered scientific progress. Even when it may seem that astronomers have collected a lot of evidence on asteroids, there is always something new that can be learned from new found information, even if it is simply a reassurance of previous observations. The progress, no matter how slow, would provide more evidence to back up claims and would still provide more details about the universe before human's

In June of 1908, a fireball descended towards Earth leaving a fiery white trail in its path. It landed in Siberia but it wasn’t like any other asteroid. This one appeared to have exploded in mid air causing Hiroshima like effects. There is no evidence that it hit Earth, but there is a crater shaped lake about five miles from where the suspected spot it landed. The fire ball left thousands of trees on fire, seemingly blowing over millions. This force killed local people as well as animals and there is only one thing that we can conclude about it… it was an asteroid.
