Persuasive Essay On Space Colonization

3,2,1 blast off!This is the sound of civilians going to space. Would you want to go to space if you could? Well , I would.I wonder if I am going to Mars. Here is are two reasons I think civilians should go to space.First it can helps many big space programs like NASA and also civilians should go to space to research space.

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

Carl Sagan once said “every planetary civilization will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring--not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive... If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds.” The National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA, is executing Sagan’s words every day. President Dwight D. Eisenhower created NASA in 1958 with the purpose of peaceful rather than military space exploration and research to contribute to society. Just 11 years after the creation, NASA put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon, the first humans to

Colonizing Mars would not only be a scientific breakthrough, but it would be extremely beneficial to the human race and their future. Mars would help humans in many ways by providing a planet for humans to fall back on if any bad event were to happen to Earth. Colonizing Mars would prove to be very helpful and rewarding. Also, many engineers and scientists like Elon Musk, founder of Space x and Tesla, are on board are on board with this futuristic idea.

Space exploration has exploded in the past 56 years. From the first successful satellite mission in 1961, to the first mission space walk in 1969 a to the first time lettuce was grown and eaten in space in 2015. These are just the beginning steps towards potential space exploration and advancing technology to the maximum.

"I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact."- Elon Musk. Space exploration is tough. The slightest problem can turn what seemed a successful mission into a disaster, making it imperative to prepare for every possible situation. As such, there is a great demand for high quality engineers in this field. I plan to be one of those engineers, and Washington Aerospace Scholars is one of the best opportunities to help me accomplish this. There is a lot I can gain from it; however, it does not come without difficulty. WAS requires dedication, strategy, and commitment to succeed. I believe I can offer these through my diligence towards STEM, time proven work ethic, and experience in similar courses.

On September 6th of 1944, mankind’s aspiration to reach the stars slammed into the Earth in the form of the V2 rocket striking Paris (Britannica; Hollingham). The V2 rocket was a new sort of weapon: it combined the elegance of rocket science into the brutality of war, with it enabling Nazi Germany to claim thousands of lives. The man responsible for designing such a perversion of human ambition, Werner Von Braun, would later become indispensable to the United States’ mission to put a man on the moon. The moon project not only showed the vast capability of the US science program, but also revolutionized many fields of technology and thus bringing a new sense of pride to all mankind in human achievement. From Von Braun’s actions, a paradox arises:

5,4,3,2,1 that is the sound that most americans hope to hear again, and same with NASA. NASA believes that american citizens should fund space exploration so that they could fulfill the dreams of the moon landing but instead with Mars. The funding of space exploration has helped the U.S. in many ways. Funding for space exploration maybe difficult and costly but it will work out in the long run. For example NASA plans to develop more into their Mars mission in 2020. This goal though can only be achieved if NASA receives the right funding they need to create the technology. Space exploration should be funded by the U.S. because there are many benefits to the space exploration like discovering materials such as new medical knowledge and creating new useful technology.

Global warming and pollution are two major reasons why colonizing Mars is a bad idea. Many scientists are working on ideas to fix the atmosphere on Mars, finding liquid

Humans have been traveling to space for more than forty years, since the Russian "Yuri Gagarin" penetrated Earth's gravitational field, and took orbit around the Earth. But since that date, man did not go out for permanent residence in another place outside the original planet, not to mention the International Space Station, which always carry different sets of pioneers reside for several consecutive months, that is if we consider that as a kind of accommodation. Since long time ago, the human kind is looking forward to get out of the planet and colonize other planets, and this not because we are running out of spatial area on earth in the near future. There is no doubt that colonizing uninhabited deserts is still much easier than going to other planets. But it is perhaps more about the challenge, which mankind carry against the wide universe. And perhaps is due to the imminent depletion of the planet's resources with the terrible population explosion, and the need to search for new resources. In addition to this, in the very distant future, earth population may reach to numbers that the planet cannot stand. Until that time, getting out of earth may become inevitable. Of course, if we think of colonization of a planet, the first planet would respond to our mind is Mars.

“Space exploration is a force of nature unto itself that no other force in society can rival.” The famous astrophysicist and astronomer, Neil Degrasse Tyson, once said these powerful words. What Neil Degrasse Tyson meant is that space exploration, is unlike anything else as it compels people to explore and discover the unknown. It gathers interest in science and it’s many field, which is the foundation of society and the the future. Space exploration can solve many of the problems caused by humanity and further develop society. Ever since I was a child, I have always admired outer space with all of its stars and comets, and wanted to learn more about space. I have done more than sufficient research on this topic through various websites and articles on the Internet. Firstly, I will discuss the progression of technology from space exploration. Then, I will

Planet Earth is not going to last forever. Sooner or later the human race will have to look for somewhere else to call home. Of course, this will not be the case for an extreme amount of time; nevertheless, scientists have already started to examine various options for possible space colonization. Sending a colony into space is no small task, so there are loads of problems and obstacles that humanity will need to hurdle to do this successfully. In order for humanity to permanently create settlements outside of Earth’s atmosphere, there needs to be advancements in many different areas of science and technology.

My opinion is that we should have space exploration. I know it costs a lot of money but it's important for the us if we don't know anything about space then we wouldn't know how the earth and the planets were made.

Why did Columbus travel west? Why did Marco Polo head east? Because it is that pull, that unknown, that prospect of adventure that compels humans to seek new frontiers to explore.

Investments in NASA are often seen as a waste of money that should be funded for other matters such as medical expenses or other governmental programs. However, many neglect to recognize that the conditions of the Earth are slowly deteriorating and human life here will not always be able to exist. We must turn to science in order to find solutions to colonize other planets, no matter how difficult nor impossible it may seem. In the fifteenth century it was thought to be impossible to travel across an ocean. It was also once deemed impossible to travel out into space, and yet we have accomplished those tasks. Colonizing another planet is like the Europeans traveling
