Shawn Lee #1234338 ESS 102 AI The Dangers of Space Travel Science Fiction Synopsis The earth’s governments have determined that extraterrestrial colonization is an urgent priority for the successful continuation of the human race. In order to advance this agenda, they conceive Project Eden, a program to send a group of people to build an independent civilization on the extraterrestrial planet. Eve-278B is one of the 10,000 test subjects in Project Eden. Upon her birth, she was selected and taken
One of the biggest reasons to change where we are exploring is how expensive space travel is. The regular cost is about $450 million. That is a lot of money and here is the catch, that cost is only for one launch and there have been about 130 launches. So if you do the math, we have spent about $58.5 billion on space travel. That is the total cost of all 130 space shuttle launches, but there have also been five-strong fleet launches. To build a strong fleet shuttle it takes around $1.7 billion (Thompson
atmosphere of earth. Some of mans greatest accomplishments have occurred in space, such as the moon landing. Space travel not only provides the delightful experience, but it also helps us to better our technology as the year's progress. Although these are positive aspects of space travel, there are negative aspects that strongly linger, making space travel not so promising. As you may know, funding for space travel has cost the people in our society a great deal of money. The government has
The Christian Science Monitor article, PUT THE TITLE HERE, PUT THE LINK HERE, discusses the dangers of space travel with astronaut Tim Peake. According to Peake, a window on the International Space Station (ISS) was damaged by a paint chip sized piece of metal. He contends that the ISS can withstand this type of small hit by debris. However, a strike by larger Space debris could be hazardous. In fact, the ISS had to do a planned maneuver to get out-of-the-way of a larger piece of debris. For many
Civilians in space! Space travel? Not on my list. Sure, rocket ships, space, and zero gravity may sound fun, but I would not go. Think about how much all of it would cost, with a rocket and insurance, and plus, making sure insurance can cover your safety would not be easy. Convinced yet? No? Then read along. 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
Do you think that we can use a spaceship for deep space and time travel using dark matter as fuel and wormholes as gateways? Travelling through space-time is not so much a thing of sci-fi. In theory, wormholes are tunnel-like connections made out of space-time, offering a shorter distance between two vastly separated areas of the universe. The idea is that space travelers can use these tunnels to make long space travels that would usually take thousands to tens of thousands of years and make the
human race has to decide, is space travel worth the toll it takes on humans? The homo sapien’s ability to recover and adapt is the available advantage to attain knowledge about the universe that was previously unknown. It would be entirely worth the toll it takes on humans to travel through space and discover the vast world mankind has only begun to understand. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA) has spent months and years trying to make space exploration and inhabitation
curious scientist wishing to learn more about the world we live in, space represents the hopeful unknown. It truly is, as pop culture has entitled, the final frontier. It holds answers to both the past on how our universe began as well as our future for when Earth can no longer sustain the human race. Space travel and exploration is therefore significant because of the information we can gather from it. Throughout the history of space travel there have been two distinct classes of exploration: human and
People today have a good idea about the hazards of space travel and know the consequences space travel can have for people. And after considering Andy Weir's statement regarding travel to Mars, I am of the opinion that we as a nation should not fund a manned mission to Mars in the near future because it will be very expensive, we have a larger need to explore places here on Earth, and it purposes a large danger to the people traveling in space. First, trying to fund a manned mission to Mars
Long-term Space Travel and its Effects on the Human Body Synopsis: Humans are planning more space missions to Mars and deeper into the solar system. These manned missions require longer periods of time in space than any human has ever spent, as well as traveling farther from Earth’s protection than ever before. There has been very little research conducted regarding the effects of prolonged space travel on the human body. This paper examines how space travel will likely alter bodily functions. The
