Space exploration is the solution to all of our problems. Fact. Population control spiralling out of control? Colonise. Running out of energy? Solar Generators on a dedicated space station. It’s shockingly simple. Yes, the cost of it, and the time it would take to set up, and the resources it would require to take up could be better spent. If we didn’t take massive risks now and again, we would all still be in the Dark Ages. The Apollo Program was a massive expenditure, and it was a massive risk
Spreading Human Footprints into the Space The space is always full of mysteries embellished with humans’ fantasy. Developing from the ancient theory of “round sky and square earth” to the Big Bang theory and even sending astronauts to other planets, humans use their intelligence to satisfy their curiosity towards the universe. The new discoveries and achievements along with the space programs show the competence of humans and prove the necessity to keep exploring the universe with human. Although
for space exploration and NASA towards the end of the year. The “Space Race” began in the 1950’s and 1960’s when Russia sent up the first successful, unmanned satellite named Sputnik in into outer space. The U.S. response was the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. During this time, the Soviets sent the first man in to orbit, Yuri Gagarin. Then, in July of 1969, the U.S. took the lead in the race by sending the first men to the moon on Apollo 11(“Space Exploration 1). Ever
Space Exploration Is Important Ever since I was young, it was my dream to one day explore space and travel the universe. In my mind’s eye, I could imagine myself discovering new planets, searching for distant stars and exploring all the great vastness of space. However not everybody sees space exploration the same way. Many say that it is a waste of time and more importantly, money. They say, “Why should we spend money on space exploration when there are so many problems here on earth?” I often
Hannah Runyan Pellegrino Block 2/3 2 March 2017 Evolution of The American Dream Americans drastically shifted from wanting the basics in life as the ‘American Dream’ to wanting more than they ever thought was attainable; this fueled American spirits after the Great Depression and gave them something to aim for. The term ‘The American Dream’ was coined by historian and author James Truslow Adams in his 1931 book The Epic America. He spoke of “. . . a land in which life should be better and richer
Is their enough space for the two of us? 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
Eternal Exploration There is some unexplained phenomenon in the universe. Curiosity has been an integral role in finding answers, leading to our species’ advancement. From the discovery of fire by ancient ancestors to modern space explorations, it has been of curiosity and pursuit for a better future that has made humans explore and innovate. The idea for such adventures has been part of fiction such as Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man. In this book with 18 science fiction short stories published

But, in light of recent events and advancements, the need for humans in space has appeared to dwindle. With technology as it stands today, unmanned missions have become increasingly prevalent. The National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) has run multiple unmanned missions with great
investigation is the dream of any scientific mind; such case is most likely impossible due to the characteristics of the current world. If it was the occurrence, which would be the right field to investigate? Maybe, two well-known topics pop up in our minds, cancer disease and space exploration, these proposals present a huge controversy, whether to find the cure of one of the most invasive, deathly illnesses that takes the lives of around 595,690 Americans annually or to launch a new space age to discover
centuries, humans have looked up to the stars for help. They have used constellations for guidance, and also have found the positions of our neighboring planets. In the past, many people had the idea of humans leaving Earth and exploring outer space. This became a reality during the 20th century, when American astronauts first landed and walked on the moon. With the many benefits we have gotten from explorations in the past, I think that we should continue spending money for space explorations in the
