Space Exploration : The Dangers Of The Exploration Of Space

Space exploration is dangerous and expensive. Is it worth the risk to humans to try to make a new home beyond Earth?

Do you think that space exploration should be continued? Some people think that we should continue exploring the space, and others think that we should stop exploring the space. These people have their own reasons for it or against it. Either way, space exploration has both its advantages and disadvantages. In my personal opinion, I think that we should continue exploring the space because exploring space gives people many benefits. Exploring the space will solve humans’ oversized population and scarce resources problems, and also will improve our technology. If mankind stops exploring the space, our world will only be limited to Earth, and it will be so tiny compared to the universe. The universe

Looking down the road, space exploration and the benefits it yields in medicine and information technology should not be overlooked.

We've all seen pictures of the beautiful blue globe of the Earth from space. Some of the first images were taken by NASA. Not only that,The International Space Station has been a huge step forward in the healing technology, and NASA has made millions of research projects to help us with our health. This research is going to show a few of the many things that NASA, with its knowledge helped us discover, and in some cases, to solve many human problems. They have contributed not only clearler and more extensive vews of space, but it also has helped with the problems and diseases that occur.

The word future, is something that gets thrown around a good bit and why is that? Most think of the future as, what is going to happen tomorrow? A week from now? Or simply, what kind of life will my kids have when they are older? While a smaller few, will ask the question, what does the future look like for Earth and its population? Sure, this could mean living in outer space like some TV shows like to showcase to their viewers, but more importantly is the fact that there are resources and other necessities that can be taken from space to ensure the very livelihoods of every sole on Earth. To make this happen, the United States need to keep funding their space exploration projects to make these fairytales, a reality. Though this process

For past decades of space exploration, radiation had been extremely dangerous and troublesome for the astronauts and engineers. Since excessive amounts of radiation are highly lethal, it is questioned if it is ever possible to place astronauts on the inhabitable terrain of Mars. However, in the modern world of technology, engineers at NASA Langley Research Center have been working in collaboration for the Radworks project to build protective habitats to help mitigate the issues of radiation, especially solar radiation from solar flares. Prototypes that were built became the potential blueprints of the human safe houses on Mars for more life threatening events such as a solar particle event that usually last around two days. In addition, the

Along with this idea space exploration has helped Americans have an increased understanding the body in different conditions, for instance, the regime found in astronaut who is in space to keep their bone density stable in a zero-gravity environment. This research has since been used in order to promote safe treatment for patients with muscular atrophy. Moreover, advances in aerospace engineering have also advanced ways of diagnosing diseases. New technological advances of X-ray, MRI, and new operating machines. An operating mechanism is a robotic machine that is called the “Minimally invasive.” With this robotic machine, surgeries are able to do surgeries faster and better without even actually opening up the patient. This system was derived from the rigorous austonautical research being conducted In space research facilities. Space exploration has helped us improve many things in the United States however, this can also cause us consequential effects such as bringing back an unknown disease or virus that can affect our fellow people. There have been cases of people that have gone

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was formed in 1958 because of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Since their creation, NASA has put a man on the Moon and sent a satellite to help us understand what happened in the Big Bang. On July 21, 2011 the last mission for the space shuttle program was completed, which marked the end of the shuttle program, but just because the shuttle program has ended, does not mean America is done exploring. America’s policy toward manned space exploration should continue the efforts of the shuttle program and explore the deepest, darkest reaches of space. Some might say that over time mankind could colonize planets beyond Earth and maybe even other solar systems. America has always had a sense of adventure. We came from the old world of Europe to colonize a new one, then expanded westward past the Appalachian Mountains, past the

Innovation breeds new technologies and sciences that constantly reform our way of life. And space exploration is a field that is always working on the bleeding edge of our knowledge, consistently pushing the boundaries for what we can achieve. Many people know about the successful landing of the Mars rover, or the Apollo missions to the Moon, and maybe about a few of the technologies that have come from space research, but do these benefits of space exploration outweigh the costs? And why should anyone care about what goes on hundreds of miles above our heads, when there are dozens of problems that already need addressing right here on Earth? That is, how does space exploration impact our daily lives and why is it important in comparison to other major global issues today? Well, while many arguments can be made regarding the low budget other organizations have in comparison to NASA, or some of the future problems plaguing the industry, a few things are for certain: the contributions that have come from space exploration, and the benefits society earns from exploration itself, have a strong impact on day to day life, and an even greater impact on a global scale.

However, it is extremely difficult to send a human being into space. The space shuttle, which ferried astronauts from earth to the International Space Station cost, on average, $1.5 billion dollars for each of the 135 launches (Pielke Jr. 2007). Furthermore, the space shuttle had an operational altitude of less than 600 miles, with the typical flight only reaching altitudes of around 250 miles (Jenkins 2006); for missions beyond the International Space Station, the distance several orders of magnitude greater. On average, it is 238,900 miles to reach the moon, and 140 million miles to reach Mars (http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/profile.cfm). The sheer amount of resources required to send a person into space makes it exceptionally difficult and costly to do so. Consequently, it becomes critical that the astronauts ' well-being is accounted for when being sent on long term missions, both from an ethical and financial perspective. This paper will address some of the hazards and health concerns that arise due to long term space travel for human beings.

Adam: You used a sentence of “The true worth of Airpower in understanding geopolitics seems to come from how airpower makes geography more accessible” about air power, which is correct, and I agree with you. For the outer space, your outcome and principle idea is “While outer space may be a new geostrategic concern for developed states, the financial cost of its use will make it an impossibility for weaker states. This doesn’t necessarily mean that weaker states do not see the value in outer space, but it is however, likely to lead to different implications”, which is possible true. The outer space scientific works trigger the developed states much more than the less powerful states because these kinds of works need funding.

Have you ever seen a cartoon or show on TV about space and thought, “That is foolish”? The human imagination of space exploration is intriguing. Some may use that silly cartoon as inspiration and pursue a career involving space. Once the imagination is put into action, many beneficial products and technologies can and have come into existence that will and have change how we live and see space. To some, space exploration is inconsequential as if it will lead nowhere in life. However, space exploration is beneficial for its technological advances due to the imagination sparked from it, the desire for more knowledge about it and the pursuit of space exploration in itself.

It was the golden tip of the compass that discovered our nation, and it was the blazing flames of the shuttle that fed our 10,000 year hunger for curiosity. Our ever exploring society is fed off of the wonder and magnificence of our world, and our only way to satisfy ourselves is is to prey off of discovery. Space exploration and research has been rising since the Apollo 11 landing on the moon, and our rates of discovery to the moon have drastically increased by more than 50% in the last 20 years. (JAMES, 2013) Our minds have built the machines of tomorrow, and our insane imaginations take us to the depths of the milky sea of the universe. Our discoveries can aid the process of our growing world of technology, and it can solve our problems with global warming. As referred to image 0.0, since 2013, over 58 % of our planet has been facing drastic changes in climate dangers, with over 60% of our planet engaged in greenhouse gas related activities and economies. (Feb, 2014, Occupy theory) Space exploration cannot only alert us of dangerous climates and weathers but may be able to solve the puzzles we have been engaged in for many years. With the age of space technology, we can help humanity with impossible problems, aid our world with an insight of disaster, and innovate us towards a peak of new discovery.

The sustainability of human life on Earth is a question that is repetitively put into our minds. Threats are becoming more and more apparent all around the world, from global warming to the extinction of many different species, the effects of a withering Earth are being observed firsthand. However, human beings are trying to slow down the deterioration of our planets health by doing things like recycling and creating biodegradable materials. Unfortunately, despite our efforts to save our planet, the eventual expansion into space will soon be necessary to ensure the survival of our species. With a deteriorating Earth, we must look to space for a new home. We need to conduct a search using advanced telescopes, for the most promising nearby solar system for the future of mankind (Bridwell 2). Space exploration is important to humans due to our curiosity of exploration, the new opportunity for unknown discoveries, and the eventual and inevitable inhabitability of our planet.

For us to make the most progress possible, and get the best results out of our space missions, it is essential to send humans to space. Unmanned, robotic missions alone cannot fully address the problems and goals in space exploration, and the only way we can do so is by having manned missions, and using robots and unmanned mission to support and complement us in the areas we are least efficient in.
