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.

I’m am going to tell you what people are going to do in the future. NASA is trying to make new developments to their research by exploring more of space. One way that they will do that is by trying to send people to Mars. Another place they want to send people is to an asteroid. The spaceship that is going to Mars has to be the best.
Is the underlying reasons for the belief, impression or thought that the US government must continue to invest in NASA overlooked, misunderstood or unheeded. In his essay “Space Technology: A Critical Investment for Our Nation’s Future,” author Bobby Braun builds a cogent, detailed and absorb-ing argument by employing a variety of rhetorical techniques and persuasive strategies, most notably, an array of pertinent facts and statistics, appeal to emotions, and the citing of respected authorities to persuade his audience on why the US government needs to continue investing in NASA. Braun skillfully incorporates facts and statistics to build his argument. For example, aerospace “is the largest positive contributor to our nation’s trade balance” (par. 1) and “Modest sustained federal investment in space technology, at a funding level approaching 5 percent of NASA’s budget (well below the R&D budget of many corporations), is the key ingredient to their success. ”(par. 7) As a result, the use of these facts and statistics helps ground the
How does one go about defining things as good and bad? Some things can be good and bad at the same time, like using satellites and computers to solve ecological problems. There are a lot of pros and cons but the cons outweigh the pros because the images will need validation, one can’t trust in a satellite and computer to give all the answers, and time isn’t exactly on their side. Validation has to come from somewhere to make sure the images that are looked at can be trusted. “Without proper validation, satellite data should not be taken at face value.”
The backdrop of the Cold War between the United States and The Soviet Union through the mid-to-late 20th century promoted multiple international policies that reflected the tensions and the hostilities between the bipolar world. The conflicts not only remained on Earth, but what has been termed as a “space race” occurred after the USSR launched the world’s first satellite, Sputnik, into orbit in October 4th, 1957. The politics of space seemed suddenly more vital than it ever had before, and serious political thought was contemplated. What could space have to offer that would benefit for humanity? As the two superpowers competed over the next decade, the questions became more difficult.

One counter-argument is that once the oxygen tanks run out of oxygen the person will die because there is no more oxygen. Though that is true NASA has found that there is more water on Mars then there is in California. So all we have to do is defrost the ice and then the water will release oxygen. NASA has found streaks of 200-300 ft of water on Mars.
Pros or cons? I believe that outweighs the pros because there is more danger we are being put in by having all this new technology and not knowing how to use it then there are pros. NASA Earth Observatory states that anyone can get pictures from satellites, people think they know everything going on, and conversation issues. Firstly, I believe that the cons outweigh the pros in the sense that anyone can get satellite images online.
NASA scientist needed a major achievement to turn it around. In 1961, President Kennedy explained to the population of America in a speech, that the United States of America will send a man to the moon within the next ten years. He launched the Moon Race. It was a major challenge that cost 25 Billion dollars to the Americans(“NASA”), but that could have an incredible impact on the world by improving technology and how people were perceiving the world. The Soviet proposed a moon program, so that both nation could collaborate effectively together in order to develop new technologies and be on the moon faster, unfortunately because of their opposite opinions and point of view this program failed and both countries worked alone (“The Space Race”).
Introduction Once a government monopoly, today space travel has now been expanded to private corporations. The resulting pros and cons have left the international community with questions to answer and decisions to make on the use of private companies in space. The privatization of space endeavors have brought on exciting new opportunities.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is planning to shoot beyond the stars with their upcoming goal to inhabit the red planet, Mars. At NASA, they’re eager to explore what lies ahead of us not only to find the unknown, but to benefit humanity as a whole and to confirm that we aren’t alone in this universe. Despite NASA’s intentions, not everyone is ecstatic as NASA was when they officially announced their project. Many concerns were raised as they described their mission and what they had planned for the future. This decision would forever impact further research and development on future space exploration due to the large risks that come along with colonizing and terraforming Mars.
The height of this space exploration came in the 1960s when America and the USSR went head-to-head in what was to become known as “the space race.” Eventually, the space race came to an end when on July 20, 1969, the first man, American astronaut Neal Armstrong set foot on the moon. Nearly 50 years later, SpaceX is keeping the miracle of space travel alive by developing new spacecraft such as “Falcon 9” and “Dragon” to continue this legacy of discovery alive. In 2012, “Dragon” became the first privately owned space craft to deliver cargo to the International Space Station (ISS) (Dragon, 2012). SpaceX, as headed by Elon Musk, intends on continuing their development of privately owned space
Final Agruement Essay Is Space Exploration Worth It? Did you know that air pollution is a greater threat to life expectancy than smoking, HIV or war? We, as humans, are polluting our only habitable place in this whole solar system, and so many people are ignoring it like it doesn’t matter! And we aren’t even talking about how dangerous it could be. America should not be prioritizing Earth exploration because we need to preserve our Earth first, and it could be really dangerous to the people going into space.
Until people go into space, nothing will change here on our planet. To begin with, all of the planets out in the galaxy will benefit the human race in ways that people can't imaging. Next, without space exploration technology humans would not be be where were are at today. In addition, the history of space exploration has changed the way everyone thinks about everything. Space exploration is great, but it does have its disadvantages.
