Education In America

It is important to know that Curiosity has contributed significantly to the evolution of the human species. So why should humans stop with Earth alone? Why not expand our horizons? In this essay, With the help of articles, Humans Need to Explore Outer Space by Claudia Alarcon and Let Robots Take to the Stars, by Eiren Caffall, I will explain how Outer Space has an inexhaustible source of knowledge that we can learn from and help assist in the solutions concerning Earth’s origins and our place in the Universe.

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

Science help this to be possible because we progress in science as the time passes. As we continue to progress science would also progress because science is what has us where we are

Just for a second close your eyes and think about all of those cool space movies that intrigue you the most. For my Star Wars and Star Trek fans let me say this first. Yes those movies were in fact science fiction; although, how cool would it be to have all of those cool gadgets and be able to travel off planet and see other stars and galaxies. I believe that the abandonment of NASA space program was a mistake for the reason that all of our problems that we have on in terms of wealth, resources and cultural conflict could be answered with what might be in space. Before the idea is immediately struck down lets’ turn back the clock about 60 years.

Are we the only planet that has living creatures, Humans, and other sources of life forms? Can it be true that there are other life forms in our galaxy? Life forms such as Aliens or Martians. Many witnesses and even some of the people who have heard or seen about the Roswell all have this same question in mind. The only problem with finding out the truth is that the truth is hidden away and kept a secret by the government.

NASA is not on the top of politicians priority list or the general public. According to a study, performed by Pew Research Center it found that people would like to do space travel but they do not want to pay the bill for it (Wormald, 2014, p.1). NASA started to get some backlash when they faced a setback, in the Challenger mission that blew up right after launch. Many people started to

Often, it is said that a lot of these technological advances that were made by scientists at NASA would have eventually occurred anyway even if NASA did not exist. This however, cannot be known, but it is for sure that space requires a whole new level of discipline for technology, and without the ways of thinking that were required to make these inventions, they may have not been created Although space is very demanding and leaves little room for error, the rewards scientists have reaped from their inventions have been great. The actual areas in which NASA develops technology include healthcare and medicine, public safety, transportation, environmental resources, industrial productivity, computer technology, and agricultural resources (Dunbar). Neil DeGrasse Tyson also realizes the importance of space when it comes to being able to create new inventions, as he states, “Not only innovations that come directly from solving the challenges of advancing a space frontier, but also the culture and society that arises from being a participant in that frontier. In other words, yes, of course you have to innovate to discover something tomorrow that you didn’t know today – some new idea has to arise, some new solution to a problem.

Without funds NASA cannot develop new technology and without technology researchers and scientists would not be able to explain a discovery that they made with existing technology. For example, without the invention of the Mars Rover, scientists would not have been able to discover water on Mars. This example alone leaves people questioning space and it attributes such as planets, galaxies and even aliens. This curiosity leads to the second reason as to why people support space activities. The idea of travelling to space is one of the driving factors for people to support funding of space exploration.

Scientific efforts have advanced because of the doubts of many countries and scientist. One of the glorifying events of the world was sending a man into space and to the moon. It was unheard of before those years that someone could even get into space, let alone touch the surface of the moon. Just 20 years before the launch it was absolute nonsense that we could do it. Certainty blinded people's eyes and doubt was the only thing to uncover the idea of getting into space and progressing our space program.

One reason America should explore space travel is because it could make technological advancements. According to “Future of Space” We have only successfully sent a man to the moon and back. If we invest in space exploration, who knows where we could go. In the selection “Leaving Main Street” they say, “The Hubble Telescope and the robotic missions to the planets have been shining examples of what can be achieved when a project is based on goals set by scientists.”, if we can already do this then what could we possibly achieve on Earth in later years. This evidence shows that we could make technology advances in the future because we

"It's highly improbable in the limitless vastness of the universe that we humans stand alone," according to the NASA administrator Charles Bordon. NASA also plays an important role in the search for life. The launch of the James Webb Telescope in 2018 is said to give an extra boost in the field. The new piece of equipment is designed to study infrared light, making it easier to spot extrasolar planets. According to Matt Mountain, director of the Space Telescope Science Institute, it would take a new generation of space telescopes to hunt extraterrestrials.

(Main Idea): In the words of Stephen Hawking “Sooner or later disasters such as an asteroid collision or a nuclear war could wipe us all out. But once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe.” We like it our not, the humans of the future will live in the space, and life outside earth might influence dramatically the way we look. (picture colony in mars)

One reason is that space travel is only a fraction of the government’s budget. According to “Leaving Main Street”, “At the cost sixth-tenths of a percent of the federal budget, it’s well worth the price.” Americans could spend extra money to train better astronauts. Americans could also spend extra money on better space crafts. Maybe have guns on the spaceships to fend off alien invaders.

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.

Maybe there is an Asgard out there. Or, a Pandora, like in James Cameron’s Avatar. Anyhow, Our research is the key to finding new galaxies, new homes, new opportunities. And with technology branching out, it won’t be long until we can bounce in between galaxies to “see the family”, or make a burger from a tiny piece of dough,water and heat.
