The United States spends about 9 billion dollars in space research. One space shuttle can cost 1.7 billion dollars. When a space vehicle used, it belongs to the Smithsonian Institution. Space shuttles can't fly to the moon. George Bush wanted people to go to the moon again by 2020, and even Mars by 2030, but Barack Obama cancelled the program. There are many types of space exploration vehicles, and even vehicles that are made to go on other planets. The United States should continue to fund space research and exploration. If people continue to explore space and bad things happen, people might be able to learn from their mistakes and even find new things. Dark They Were and Golden Eyed supports this reason. In the story, a family left Earth to go to Mars, and ended up turning into Martians. If people explored Mars beforehand and sent the information to Earth, they might not have went to Mars to live. Things like this have also happened in different fields, such as medicine. In the past, there have been cases where medicines have been released, but the longterm effects of the medicines ended up hurting some people. Scientists took the medication off the shelves, and changed it so it didn’t hurt people. If no one found out the medicine hurt people, the …show more content…

The article, “Yes, Aliens (probably) Exist” says that There actually is a planet that could support life. Keplar, a satellite that travels in deep space, found a planet called Keplar452b. Scientists say that Keplar452b can sustain life. Scientists also know that there are certain conditions in order for a planet to have life. A planet can’t be too far or too close to it’s sun, so it has to be in whats called a “goldielocks zone.” If we keep looking for different planets, then maybe if we overpopulate or pollute air too much, humans can live on another planet. But, if humans stop funding space exploration then we can never find things like

In his article he takes into account that, although NASA has made many discoveries, it is still not worth the amount that we spend to produce those discoveries. Yost believes that we should be more focused on the lives of our own people, than trying to “plant flags on planets”. The money can be put into other matter such as “MIT tuition” and “feeding and clothing the homeless”, which is much more beneficial than NASA’s results. Yost believes that we need to get it out of our head that someday the earth will inevitably explode, instead we should inspire children to believe that “human life on earth is sustainable” (Yost). Although Keith Yost provides a convincing argument through his use of counter-arguments, he relies too much on pathos rather than logos to support his claims, and displays frequent use of logical fallacies, making his argument

If NASA’s budget increased, we could discover more planets. Earth isn’t going to last us forever. We should invest in discovering and studying new planets and galaxies so the human race can strive and prosper forever, even if that means not living on Earth

Linda Billings in Space Colonization talks about how every generation of people on Earth has evolved to Earth-like conditions and how we struggle to adapt to the changing conditions on Earth. This expresses the idea that colonizing a different body in space would become even more difficult because it could simply be too hard on our bodies. Mars as a Backup Planet states “the implication and belief by some that Mars will be there to save us from the self-inflicted destruction of the only truly habitable planet we know of, the Earth.” This quotation tells us that we have no evidence that any planet, moon, or other body in space is habitable, so all the money, manpower, and energy being spent on space exploration could be for nothing, if space really is infinite we would never know if a place in space was habitable. To summarize, we don’t know if any place in space is habitable so we shouldn’t explore

If the US did not compete so blindly and ever so narrow-mindedly distort their greed for power with the question of mankind’s future in space, I believe that a portion, if not all, of its NASA funds would be much more beneficial in the research field of disease cures and the ongoing battles against poverty and world hunger, issues that dawn on our planet right

Since the launch of the first successful Russian satellite, Sputnik 1. We continue to think about what our universe contains and what life may be sharing it with us if any. We've built craft designed to land on our own planets moon, shuttles to conduct experiments in space to test zero gravity while in low-Earth orbit. But the National Aerospace and Space Association (NASA) has also sent the first probes and rovers to different planets, a telescope satellite into deep space to start the first expedition to mapping the cosmos for the first time in history. We have proven theories with the voyager probes by which collect data in deep space and will continue through space long after the human race has come and gone.

Some could say that spending that amount of money on something that could go wrong at any moment is a poor use of funds, just like the Challenger space shuttle explosion that occurred on January 28th, 1986, killing seven crew members. This is the main argument of many who do not agree with space exploration, and it might be the only one required to fight against the daring venture. The issue at hand is whether or not valued time and resources should be used to explore the depths of space, or if those resources would be better used for our planet and the people who live here. This is a problem that people should care about since either way, a large amount of money will be spent, problems will be solved, and even technological advancements could be made. All of these things are for the betterment of mankind.

We learned to monitor orbiting astronauts- pioneering telemedicine & leading to unprecedented improvements in patient monitoring”(Fowler, 1). Funding for space exploration could help physicians go into space, test materials, bring them back (if promising), and use them on patients. Also adding to that, “ We would be a much more healthy planet and society, if we stopped warring with each other and wasting precious minerals that we have on this Earth -on- war, we would have more resources to spend on more important things such as daily

As much as we may want to know what lies beyond our earth, there are bigger issues that our government must address. More people are affected by poverty than by space. The government must focus their resources and efforts to one problem at a time, and with a third of the UK living under the ‘poverty line’ more money should be spent helping the poor, rather than on space research. If the government doesn 't handle the economic crisis with care, we will all end up poor – but to treat the situation properly requires more funding.
