The Importance Of Space Exploration

People have been curious about what is out there for as long as humans have been around. In ancient times people used the stars to navigate and the sun to tell time and stories of alien lifeforms are a popular subject for Si-fi writers. On October 4, 1957 Russia launched Sputnik the first satellite, this was a huge step for space exploration because researchers were finally able to be at the place they were studying, space. Exploring space does costs a lot of money, for example, 18.7 billion dollars go to funding NASA (Life’s Little

The Obergs use comparative strategy to persuade reader that humans should not reject space exploration. Past experience when compared with the present situation helps readers in picturing what will happen if the history is repeated. The Obergs states that” We have the maps of the mind, and we have the spaceship and the spacefarers, and for the moment we have the will. We can not turn our back on space as china once turned its

We as a human race are mentally programed to explore the unknown whether it is sneaking out into the woods behind your house as a child or going up into the depths of space. Curiosity is what allows us to think outside the box, and when we expand out of our comfort zones we discover things that help advance our race as a whole. There was once a time when space exploration was just a science fictional thought – humans were never expected to pass through Earth’s atmosphere. It all began during the Cold War, when different counties began competing with each other. The race resulted in numerous satellite launchings and the mission that brought man onto the moon; Apollo 11. This inspired so many in the rising generation to pursue careers in science

I do not wish to be ignorant of history as it happens around me. I would like to know what we are doing in space, especially after the last spacecraft was launched. Are we going to Mars or are we sending more satellites into space to explore the unknown? I want to know more about our space programs and how rockets and other spacecrafts work and how they are made. What parts go where; what causes such a speed with that much mass? Are we going to learn about the reason behind the recent launch failure at Wallop's flight facility? My inquisitive nature requires me to search for answers to such

NASA continues to explore beyond Pluto with interesting space findings. The New Horizon NASA project may have stumbled upon a new icy rock that looks like a UFO. Far from Pluto, New Horizon has had some success. Now they continue deeper and further into space as they collect more data. But what is NASA looking for? And why is the Kuiper Belt so interesting? Pooling resources for Mars or moon colonization doesn’t appear to be in mind for NASA. The distant icy rock that looks like a UFO may have some deeper significance. And the public may never know the truth.

However, due to the technological evolution and the industrial and mechanical revolution, sky was not an unsurpassable limit anymore, but what lied beyond that sure was. By the time the first telescope was made, space’s conquest has been a goal that first world’s nations have been trying to fulfill. Simultaneously though to that goal’s fulfillment, a question popped up that created numerous new theories and propagandas. Are we alone in this vast universe? And if we are not, how does it look or behave those who coexist with us?

Space has fascinated the human race since the ancient times, from the Egyptians and Romans to now in present day astronomers. Ever since the first man touched down on the moon it was possible to explore other regions in Earth’s universe. The topic will be addressed through two different genres and they will express the differences and the similarities. Mike Wall’s article about Pluto will give insight on the planet and the documentary will give the insight on space through the Hubble

was always fascinated by the vastness of outer space and spend a lot of time

Five Billion Years of Solitude: The Search for Life Among the Stars immediately grabs its audience by suggesting the prospect of discovering life on other planets. Due to the topics nature being the premise of millions of books, television shows and movies, the possibility of other worlds being out there is very intriguing. The main goal of Five Billion Years of Solitude: The Search for Life Among the Stars by Lee Billings is to explain the quest for more information about “exoplanets” and the handful of people who devote their lives to finding them.

There could be a day when our curiosity for space and technology reaches the heights of the Star Trek franchise. The years of 2200-2300 are distant, but Star Trek has created a bubble of pure nostalgic thought revolving around the exploration of space, “The Final Frontier”. An interesting concept considering that to this day space is as undiscovered as the bottom of Earth’s ocean.

As humans, we are born with a natural desire to learn and discover. With space exploration, we are able to do just that. In an online essay called “Is Space Exploration Worth the Cost”, Dr. Joan Vernikos,

Space. That cold void between the stars. A gateway to adventure, and oblivion. A home to many, and a grave for countless others.

Many people who live on Earth are close minded to what is really out there in the universe. They cannot even begin to fathom the vastness of it and how Earth is just a tiny little speck compared to everything else out there. From the planets to the stars and out towards the edge of the unknown, we can only see what science provides us with. From this, we know that we are nothing but a tiny planet located in a solar system of millions in a galaxy of many more in the universe.

Space can be excellent. The planets, stars, systems and nebulae make effortless and vivid shapes noticeable to our telescopes.

Past the pale blue skies and fluffy white clouds are the brilliantly bright stars in an amazing place called Outer Space. Countless stars, galaxies, and planets drift off into the vast area known as the Universe. Each tiny speck of light out in the distance could be a galaxy, or maybe even planets.
