Space travel and exploration is by far a very unique topic to talk about. However, many advances in this industry have made people think otherwise. For example, the first man-made object was launched into space (V-2 rocket, Germany, 1949) which started the space competition or so-called “space race.” After this fabulous accomplishment, Russia decided to join the race, launching the first satellite “Sputnik 1,” in 1957. After the launching of the Russian satellite, the United States of America finally
Has anyone ever wanted to travel to Mars, or even just visit space to see Earth from above? Those things and a vast variety of other things are possible through the development of new technologies that carry the human race through time and make space exploration possible. “The whole idea of getting to know space and its secrets and how it can benefit mankind is what space exploration is all about” (“Space Exploration” 1). Throughout time, the human race has been very curious about learning more in
Space Exploration Space exploration has been advancing over the past few decades at a massive rate. Living in space can be quite difficult at times, but humans have learned how to overcome those challenges. Life in space can be challenging to humans by restraining them from completing several different tasks that we are able to do on earth. Humans have learned more knowledge about space over the past few years, in which that knowledge is being put to good use by creating equipment that helps us
it is important to discuss the ramifications of space exploration from all angles before deciding on a course of action. While curiosity and the expansion of scientific knowledge are significant factors, the ecological impacts and financial implications of space exploration are the most important factors to be considered when taking up space exploration, as they will have the largest effect on our future. The ecological impacts of space exploration are complex and the actions that we take now will
Exploration in space has been pondered on for a long time and we have made great strides in this area. It all starts with the Cold War and the two main world powers, the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The competition between the two shall soon move on to space due to each side seeking to prove their superiority resulting in the space race. As the result of their rivalry, we then ended up with a vast amount of achievements, more knowledge regarding astronautics and aeronautics, and an overall gain in
landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important in the long-range exploration of space, and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish” (Humanspaceflight) - President J.F Kennedy. This visionary statement by the late President Kennedy is perhaps most credited for the renewed zeal and interest in space travel and exploration. The minds of many Americans and the whole world were fascinated
Space Exploration The Space Race began in or around the late-1950s, during the Cold War. The United States and Russia were both anxious to become the country to explore space. Unfortunately for the US, Russia launched the first artificial satellite and man-made object to orbit Earth, Sputnik. The launch of Sputnik surprised the United States, and we rushed to get our own space craft into space, and to beat Russia to anything else space related. In 1958, the United States’ first satellite, Explorer
Space has been a topic of discussion since the dawn of man. We have made attempts to explore the near reaches of our solar system, mainly to examine the components of other planets compared to Earth. Space exploration has been slow since the beginning because of the technological barrier, but now that we live in the “Age of Technology” we can develop more advanced mechanisms to aid in our endeavors. We have never had an enormous use for space exploration, until we started to discover the natural
What is Space Exploration? Space exploration is the ongoing discovery and exploration of structures that are in outer space which is evolving and growing space technology. Many people believe that the government should spend money to explore outer space while many do not. People wonder why billions of dollars are spent for space exploration and believe that the cost is more than the benefits, but what many people don’t realize is that everyone in the world benefits from it. Many think that it’s a
Did you know that without space exploration we wouldn’t have a lot of our knowledge or technology? I always wanted to help make a rocket fly one day, or be apart of space a corporation. Space exploration is amazing in my opinion, and I feel that we should have more. Space exploration is when we explore outside of the Earth. We have learned a great deal from space exploration. Space exploration is very beneficial to humankind because it creates new technologies, it brings different countries together
