Now that the Space Race is over, what is the point? Are we wasting our money? Should we cut their budget? When the cold war ended with the soviets in 1991, it sparked up a debate as to whether or not the funding for the National Aeronautics and space administration should be continued. Although it may seem like a simple fix, it has proved to be one of NASA’s greatest and most difficult challenges yet.
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
Is the Age of Exploration more beneficial or more harmful to the world? Did you know Christopher Columbus never once stepped foot in the present-day United States? But he did indeed spark what we call the “Age of Exploration”. There were three motives for the Age of Exploration: to spread Christianity, find new wealth, and earn more glory for their country. As a result, the Age of Exploration brought harm to both people and the world of its time.
Is Major Exploration Worth the Risk? Millions of dollars are constantly being invested into major exploration, but is it worth the risk? Some may say that the major exploration isn’t worth the risk because explorers may die while exploring. Those explorers were innocent people, and exploration meant that their lives would be put at risk. On the other hand, others may dispute that major exploration benefitted the people more than it harmed them.
The Impact of Exploration Most people know the old rhyme of how Christopher Columbus “sailed the ocean blue in 1492.” At this point, it has become permanently engrained in my memory. However, not many people are truly aware of the motives for Columbus’ trans-Atlantic voyage. They are also not aware as to why such marvelous legends have been told of such explorers who “discovered” landmarks that were already discovered. The Journey of Columbus in 1492 may be the most famous of them all, but it was most certainly not the last one to that part of the world.
This was a very appealing situation for the US, which wanted to display their influence in the world. (SOURCE) In Kennedy’s speech on September 13th, 1962, John F Kennedy stated that to be seen as a prominent world leader, the US must take part in the Space Race and display their technological strength. (SOURCE) During the course of the Space Race, the US would continually come up short of the USSR’s advancements, being second to launch a satellite and second to launch a human into space.
The lessons learned from the Space Race, both in terms of scientific advancements and international collaboration, remain relevant as humanity looks toward the future of space exploration and the possibilities that lie beyond our home
Space has helped hone the skills of scientist. By using satellite technology for space, they were able to use the same concept for Earth. Even with all the benefits of space, its major down falls are cost, risks, and low chances of reward for their efforts. Many space explorations cost fortunes with little to come out of it, making it almost seem not worth it. The risk is another key factor, with little known about the majority of space, many outliers can appear out of nowhere and can cause death to anyone that happens to be working up there.
Our global world is full of different cultures, religions and different ideologies. The greediness of humans for power has caused conflicts which sadly lead to war. But humans are not only selfish and bad, they also are curious and good. The human curiosity has lead to the age of exploration. The age of exploration was a period from 1400 to 1600 in which Europeans traveled the rest of the world in search of goods, raw materials, land, and trade partners according to the Cambridge Dictionaries Online.
“The Biggest risk is not taking any risk… In a World that’s changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risk.” Mark Zuckerberg. This means the world is changing very quickly and the biggest mistake you can make is to not take the risk of exploring the world that not everyone is able to do. Exploration is worth the risk because exploration could bring more research, new inventions and better technology, and personal achievements.
This paper has given evidence of the benefits that were created through space exploration to contribute to education, culture, innovations, and new ways to address global challenge Space exploration gives educational and cultural purpose by filling a need to know the world, answer questions about our life and the nature of the Universe, and to enlarge the idea of what it is to be human. Because space exploration gives huge global investment and international partnerships, and because of its challenging nature, demands to develop the cutting edge technical capabilities needed, it gives opportunities to answer some of the global challenges today. When nations work together on space missions, this enlarges international cooperation into space. It gives interests and forges relationships that help make peace between nations.
Many people think that space exploration is a waste of money. They think that people shouldn’t be looking to the stars and that space exploration is unnecessary. Then there is the people who think otherwise. People from NASA, or people who just in general love space ,want to fund for the cause. They think that space can help the economy improve and that there is more to space than stars and a bunch of planets.
In this speech that I have written I am prepared to explain to you some possible benefits exploring space may bring to the united states and as well as tell you guys that it is ok to have great and big dreams. c. d. e. Transition: If we wish the reach are goals we must
If Nasa and the Federal Government put more money towards space travel and development we could go to Mars or even farther. Space travel is worth all the research, resources, and time. Space travel takes an abundance of time and it is worth it. Gravity
Space exploration have brought many benefits to our society. It helped answered “questions about our place in the Universe and history of our solar system” (Wiles). Explorations that we made also made us wonder about the Universe that we did not explore. The challenges we faced in space exploration, such as Moon Landing and sending probes to our solar system became an expansion of our technology, knowledge, and connections among
