    superiority over space traveling abilities. The dispute over who won the space race is unimportant, because both countries brought new advances in technology and inspired millions around the world. However, space exploration should not continue because it spends millions of tax dollars that could be used on Earth, and because it could disrupt and destroy the planet. In 2012, studies showed about 122 million Americans paid federal income taxes. About 6% of their taxes went towards space exploration and other

    NASA has stopped space exploration because they don’t have anymore funding, so they’ll ask private organizations to give money.

With technology constantly advancing, and more

    Robotic Space Exploration Space travel is a concept that has evoked excitement since the beginning of the space race in the late 1950s. However, as robotic technology has developed, whether humans should be sent to space has been questioned. Sending humans to space has an inherently higher risk than sending robots - human life is just worth so much more than any material cost. Even with the highest level of safety measures, there is still a level of risk. Astronauts have died due to space travel

    When it comes to the argument of manned or unmanned space exploration it seems clear that unmanned space exploration is the better choice overall. This seems true because unmanned space exploration is much less expensive (making it much more efficient than manned space exploration as much more can be done for the same price), humans faces many dangers in space that machines do not (making space exploration easier for machines), and it seems that comparable results are replicable with the excitement
