Another major need for astronauts in space is simply to be able to move around and not have to worry about being sucked into space as well as to not have to wear that clunky space suit all the time. This led to the invention of airlocks and extremely well insulated compartments with safety measures to block off and war of any holes that could possibly be in the shell of the craft or lander of any kind. There are people out there who say that space is best left alone however there are many scientist that have proven the point that eventually we will need resources. It could easily be within 15 years but it could also be as late as 300 years down the line, It simply relies on the fact that we need to start conserving and in space they are all …show more content…
Many people alive today will fully say that space exploration is something best kicked to the curb. Jeffrey Kluger’s article “The perfectly Sane Case for Life in Space” shows some very extreme and pretty subtle ideas about space. Kluger goes into his article about living in space and shows that many astronauts have actually done it for over a year or a little under a year but he does say that after prolonged living in space the people that come back are usually fatigued or heavily plagued with sickness or sore muscles and bones. This is one of the major factors making people not want to take prolonged trips in space as well as it is holding back the use of space hotels and military installations in space. While in space these individuals are perfectly fine and in good health making most people that are for life in space think that if you go up there, then you stay up there as its a permanent choice otherwise you are possibly plagued with sickness and despair for the rest of your life if you come back down to earth. This discourages many people from even considering backing the program and the others just seem to push it off by saying “Oh, we will figure it out when we need to” meaning that they dint care unless the Earth is literally about to give up on
Also, if they are going to even consider sending people into space they need to double check and triple check everything on that spacecraft. They should, also, test the spacecraft, spaces suits, hab, etc. before they go and send LIVE people into outer space. It is not fair that families have to worry if their loved ones will even come home after traveling into space. It is not fair that the space crew has to worry if they will even make it back to the ship alive because they are traveling to a place that is not even relevant to anyone or anything that we do on
Colonizing in space can have great benefits, and dodge a bullet or two. For example, “Our species, Homo sapiens, is about 200,000 years old. That means the there is a 95 percent chance that
As humans our desire to visit space has never ceased, but our scientific advances have so far only allowed manned visits to the moon. There are many political factors that influence the ongoing attempts to engineer space tourism and future missions to Mars, which has been in the works since the twentieth century. High costs and risks involved in spaceflight due to the longevity in space and the effects of cosmic rays have been many of the setbacks in making it a reality. The United States is currently unable to conduct human spaceflight after losing its capability to launch upon the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011. China National Space Administration and Russia Federal Space Agency are the only two government facilities that continue sending humans to space. Should spaceflight agencies continue manned missions to outer space? I believe that many people are not aware of all the knowledge we have gained from sending trained professionals into outer space in the past. Global issues amongst many other problems have been improved due to necessary collaborations made in the name of science and exploration.

Global issues among many other problems have been improved due to necessary collaborations made in the name of science and exploration of foreign territory; revolutionary innovations have been engineered in order to secure the safety of astronauts, and our environment has been harmed in the process as gases that break ozone molecules apart are released into the stratosphere.
As a country we need to start investing more money and research into space technology. Programs currently exist for this effort, but the potential for research and progress is limited by a lack of funding; compared to other government funded programs, aerospace funding is pitiful. Continued research in space technology is a necessary step in our growth and development not just as a country but also as entire human race. If we are to achieve this goal, it is necessary to increase funding for space research and technology and consider the possibility of colonizing outer space. If we limit our existence to the planet Earth, and continue to drain the resources on this planet, we will destroy the only home we have.
Space has lots of radiation. Exposure to space radiation can have a bad effect on a person’s health. Support C: Travelling and exploring space can actually endanger the life of an astronaut. THIRD POINT:
Believing that helping the earth for one day will make a difference, is like believing something because it can be rationalized. Humans, as a species, are programed to rationalize their actions, such as only “helping the earth” on one day because it is better than not helping at all. Even if every single person in the entire world were to “help the earth” at the same time for just one day, the impact would actually be quite minimal. Politicians have tried to agree on a common method to better the earth for current and future generations, and the differences in the methods draws a line. This line draws the perimeter for the two main groups, the liberals and the conservatives. Both groups have a much defined methodology of how they plan to better this earth for all generations. The federal government
This creates a very irregular pattern and the mind finds it hard to adapt. This results in lack of judgement, an inability to think straight and general irritation. A normal lifestyle is what helps you feel good: good hygiene, good food, nice hobbies, and visiting friends. In space, many of these things are not possible, which results in astronauts feeling worse and worse about themselves.
The world and universe that we live in, is meant to be discovered. With most of the world already have been explored and uncovered, amazing things about the world we live in have been discovered; the history of our world, people, etc. However, not much of the universe around us has been discovered, and charted. I believe that, it should be so, that there would be much more discovery of the universe we live in. From previous space explorations, there have been astonishing things that have been found in our universe from stars to planets, to beautiful galaxies.
It has always been a part of human nature for a man or woman to be curious of their surroundings. First it was what is beyond those mountains; then what is beyond that ocean, then the sky, under the sea, and in the 50s, 60s, and 70s it was space and the moon. Our ancestors and the early civilizations were strongly focused on explorations and expansion. Even notable historical figures were primarily focused to either expand their empire for increased power and fame like Julius Caesar, or to explore new lands for rich booty or possible colonization like Eric the Red. We are doing nothing out of the ordinary by wanting to explore the vast expanse of space first hand. We are curious what is out there. Is there life? Is there a world out there that can sustain human life? As curious beings, we must at least try to answer these questions. If not for man taking personal initiative to answer the question left before him, we would not have a Columbus or Lewis and Clark. Manned space flights instead of robotic crews bring this human element of curiosity to the table.
Today I will be proving that we should “Stop exploring space because it’s just a waste.” I will be presenting three main arguments to support my case. My first argument is that space exploration costs too much and we could spend this money on more beneficial aspects. My second argument is that astronauts are at a higher risk of developing serious health issues and in some cases, unable to return to Earth.
Mankind has always been fascinated with exploring the unknown. From sailing to distant lands to someday setting foot on other planets, the spirit of exploration is the same. Bur now with the current economic situation and the high cost of sending people to space, NASA is being looked at as a way to free up some much needed funds. Although, there is many problems here on planet Earth that need addressing, the benefits of space exploration far out weight the disadvantages. Space exploration has given us more advanced technology, advances in the medical field, and a boost to the economy and these facts cannot be disputed.
malfunctions, and psychological problems brought on by isolation. The solution to radiation exposure is to have proper shielding for the astronauts. The physiological problems faced by humans in a weightless environment could be eliminated entirely, if they had artificial gravity. If some type of malfunction were to occur on the spacecraft, or the temporary settlement on Mars, it would be prudent for the astronauts to have an emergency escape vessel. Also, providing some type of normality for the astronauts while in space and on Mars, like artificial gravity, books to read, movies to watch, games to play, and the creation of a weekly support group, would promote a healthy psychological mindset.
Space exploration is very beneficial to humankind because it creates new technologies, it brings different countries together, and gives people a better understanding of our Earth.
Why should we go into space? What is the justification for spending all the effort and money on getting a few lumps of moon rock? Aren’t there better causes here on Earth?”- Stephen Hawking. Space is the everlasting, ever growing place where we happen to reside. From the beginning of intelligent life here on Earth, we have wanted to learn.
