It is important to know that Curiosity has contributed significantly to the evolution of the human species. So why should humans stop with Earth alone? Why not expand our horizons? In this essay, With the help of articles, Humans Need to Explore Outer Space by Claudia Alarcon and Let Robots Take to the Stars, by Eiren Caffall, I will explain how Outer Space has an inexhaustible source of knowledge that we can learn from and help assist in the solutions concerning Earth’s origins and our place in the Universe. Therefore, a willingness for humans to explore space should always be an option! In addition, there is no doubt that space travel has its documented dangers; however, direct human involvement, aided by technological …show more content…

According to Let Robots Take to the Stars, paragraph 2, “Space travel is extremely expensive. To get humans to Mars, it would take $1 trillion over a 25-year period.” However, satellite data shows global warming since 1998 is increasing more than twice as fast as scientists had thought; therefore this issue outweighs any concerns one may have pertaining to money. Research about mars and its possible life continues as signs of water indicate a form of recent lively activity. If earth suddenly becomes uninhabitable, and Let Robots Take to the Stars mentions itself in paragraph 4, that Earth is “plagued by pollution”. Mars is the easiest planet to access and live on. Overall, eventually our earth is going to be destroyed because of us putting out greenhouse gasses into our atmosphere. By studying Mars for the next five to ten years we can learn about the effects of our future. Mars’ atmosphere is 95.32% carbon dioxide, this is what our atmosphere will eventually end up like. Using Mars, we can learn and see what the effects are of climate change. If we can study mars and use the information knowledgeable, we can stop or slow down global …show more content…

Studying the solar system, for example, has brought us insights into such phenomena as gravity, the magnetosphere, the atmosphere, fluid dynamics and the geological evolution of other planets. Did you know that early missions to space have discovered that there is water on mars? Humans Need to Explore Outer Space tells us that , “Future Mars missions would likely be designed to search for life itself in places identified as potential past or present habitats” HNTEO also further stated “The asteroids in the Kuiper belt offer a great opportunity for mining.” In addition, Space entrepreneurs are looking into using hydrogen and oxygen from asteroid ice to manufacture rocket fuel.” The fuel made from space can be used to launch expeditions farther out into space at considerably less cost.” This is also a solution to the issue I listed in
