Trends In Technology

Consequently NASA’s strategic plan for space exploration and the ability to improve life is based on making plans to further extend its reach into the Solar System. Essential to continuing the status quo for NASA will be the ability to increase funding and resources from the public.

NASA has never made a trip to Mars, but I don’t think the benefits of going to Mars will outweigh the risks. One of the reasons I don’t think we should go to Mars is because it would take eight months to get there. Yeah, it would be cool to be the first person on Mars but you are taking a lot of risks. That is just one of my three reasons I don’t think the benefits outweigh the risks.

In conclusion, colonizing Mars is a terrible idea There is no known natural source of water, Once you get there you cannot come back , and If you get sick, the astronauts

Humans have always been interested in the idea of exploring space. the scientists, astronauts and researchers have spent decades looking for life on other planets. Mars is the most favorable place in the solar system, other than Earth, for human habitation. It is also the closest planet to Earth. Even though some researchers claim that exploring Mars will help us to understand the Earth better, and a manned mission to Mars is better for humanity, opposing sending a manned mission to Mars for these reasons: because the cost of the exportation is not worth the risk involved. this exploration will have a negative effect on Americans. Mars exploration should be halted because of the cost to the economy, the risk to society and the lack

One large project that is being pursued is colonizing mars with a human population. This will mold the future and newer generations. It can make us question the future and what lies ahead. It has been said that it will take no more than 50 years to fulfill the colonization of mars.

When people undertake missions it isn’t always dangerous. There are many reasons someone would want to undertake a mission. In Barrio Boy and Apollo 13 they have to accomplish many challenges to overcome their missions. Certain missions or challenges can increase the desire to accomplish them. In order to undertake a mission you must work hard, trust people, and believe you can achieve your goals.

Richard, an author for the website GOVTEEN Global Community, wrote an article briefly explaining why we as a nation, should not go to Mars. Some of the key points of his argument against going to Mars stressed that the financial cost would be too high, it would require several new spacecraft and ground habitats, and several new technologies that currently do not exist. He also was concerned about the budget cuts that have already stripped the National Aeronautical Space Administration (NASA) to a shell of what the space program used to be. He also stressed that we are still in an armed conflict that has put a strain on our nation, economically and emotionally.

Is is worth risking lives to explore the unknown during high risk missions? From 1967 to 2003, NASA had 3 disasters, resulting in the death of 17 people (one being a citizen). When confronted with the restraints that space programs have when studying certain topics in space, safety should be a number one priority. It is ethically wrong to send astronauts into space, without informing them of the risks of their mission. NASA should also weigh the risks of the mission with the anticipated outcome to decide if it ethically acceptable to go through the mission at all.

NASA and ESA have been the main factors of developing space ships that will reduce the factors of failure or risk of the mission. Technology is not the greatest problem itself, space agencies probably have enough technology to go to Mars, considering that our current cell phones have more technology more than Apollo 13 did. The challenge itself is to identify every risk and every step with its details and consequences. We always have to remember that before we can run, we have to walk, and before we can explore the space, we have to leave our planet and be confident about our surroundings. There are some pretty big gaps in our abilities, including the fact that we can't efficiently store the necessary fuel long enough for a Mars trip, more fuel means more weight, and more weight means more fuel to operate. We also don't yet have a vehicle capable of landing people on the Martian surface, and we aren't entirely sure what it will take to keep them alive once there. Sure fuel is not the only thing that human needs if they lived went to

Have you ever thought how great it would be to go to space, well if so, you should think again. If we do get the technology to go to space, it could lead to brain dangerous for the astronauts who go to space, that due to the radiation particles in the space atmosphere. We should not spend valuable resources on space exploration.

Though it may sound shocking, space travel is extremely dangerous. Many astronauts fear complete isolation in space, and in The Martian, astronaut Mark Watney is abandoned on Mars after a failed mission. However, isolation in space is not the most dangerous threat for astronauts. Many other astronauts have dealt with terrorizations from space debris, leaky suits, and launches and re-launches. Though The Martian does have a successful ending, many other space flights have not been as successful.

been human beings walking the Earth, we have always looked up at the sky and wondered what lay beyond our Moon and Sun. It’s only natural for us to wonder; humans have always been explorers. We are driven by thirst for knowledge and the desire to be daring. These motivations are what drove the first manned mission to the moon on July 20th, 1969. Here in the present 21th century we still have those same motivations, but, for something much farther away and greater than the moon: Mars. Our technology is still evolving at a greater speed than we imagine,but, still isn't all the way there yet. Someday in the far future we can safely send six brave men or women to explore the great unknown red planet. Maybe, one day we’ll

In the past, one-way trips to Mars have been conducted ranging from 150-300 days [2]. When adding time spent on the planet and a return trip, that number doubles, testing human resilience in space even further. Scientists need to come up with ways to safely send human beings to these remote planets and find ways to combat the following physical and psychological challenges their astronauts face.

Space, an unknown and endless abyss full of mystery and wonder. A beautiful domicile that, as humans, peaks our curiosity. As the saying goes, “curiosity killed the cat”, when it comes to traveling to space, humans are slowly dying from their curiosity. Space is a dangerous place, full of mental and physical altering effects. Astronauts, the deep sea divers of space, must train for years to get use to the effects of space. Space is virtually the exact opposite than the home we know as Earth. Humans, along with all organisms on Earth, were created on Earth for Earth and when we dare explore a place without the same environment, we are asking for complications. When a human is exposed to the vacuum of space, we die within minutes. Over the years scientists have developed technologies that help protect us against the deadly features of space, but in reality it only shields us from about fifty percent of all of the harmful effects. Weightlessness changes us physically, while isolation alters us mentally. Space changes the life of any human including the way we travel from place to place, our sleeping and eating habits, and the amount of exercise needed. Traveling to space has many effects on humans both mentally and physically, which is why they endure intensive training and need technology to survive, but even so, die slowly in its clutches.

Before the twentieth century, there was little opportunity that existed to explore Mars, except with astronomical observations and scientific knowledge. Within the last couple decades, however, advancements to technology have brought forth many new significant achievements in space exploration, making it possible to possibly send people to Mars. The advancement of space technology and space medicine made it a reality for humans to go to Mars. Space travel however comes with some challenges, these include bone and muscle loss due to the constant exposure to zero gravity, some cell damage from the cosmic radiation, and psychological and sociological issues from the constant isolation.
