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. 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

According to Let Robots Take to the Stars, paragraph 2, “Space travel is extremely expensive. To get humans to Mars, it would take $1 trillion over a 25-year period.” However, satellite data shows global warming since 1998 is increasing more than twice as fast as scientists had thought; therefore this issue outweighs any concerns one may have pertaining to money. Research about mars and its possible life continues as signs of water indicate a form of recent lively activity. If earth suddenly becomes uninhabitable, and Let Robots Take to the Stars mentions itself in paragraph 4, that Earth is “plagued by pollution”. Mars is the easiest planet to access and live on. Overall, eventually our earth is going to be destroyed because of us putting out greenhouse gasses into our atmosphere. By studying Mars for the next five to ten years we can learn about the effects of our future. Mars’ atmosphere is 95.32% carbon dioxide, this is what our atmosphere will eventually end up like. Using Mars, we can learn and see what the effects are of climate change. If we can study mars and use the information knowledgeable, we can stop or slow down global …show more content…
Studying the solar system, for example, has brought us insights into such phenomena as gravity, the magnetosphere, the atmosphere, fluid dynamics and the geological evolution of other planets. Did you know that early missions to space have discovered that there is water on mars? Humans Need to Explore Outer Space tells us that , “Future Mars missions would likely be designed to search for life itself in places identified as potential past or present habitats” HNTEO also further stated “The asteroids in the Kuiper belt offer a great opportunity for mining.” In addition, Space entrepreneurs are looking into using hydrogen and oxygen from asteroid ice to manufacture rocket fuel.” The fuel made from space can be used to launch expeditions farther out into space at considerably less cost.” This is also a solution to the issue I listed in
For example, more studies and a deeper knowledge of bacteria could lead to the reduce the amount of pollution. Bacteria is present everywhere
There are many explorations taken in the Grand Canyon trying to learn to learn more about the earth’s crust and how it is formed. In Timothy Egan and Casey Egan’s article they give evidence that science is helping us to understand the age of the earth, “The rock floor is around 1.8 billion years old. At the rim, the Kailbab formation is 270 million years old”(Timothy Egan and Casey Egan). Many scientists also go to parks like Yellowstone National Park and Yosemite National Park to study wildlife and different plant species. “Whether this park would continue to be a living thing, with its nearly 750 plant species, was perhaps out of our control”(Timothy Egan and Casey Egan).
Some of the greatest mysteries known to mankind exist outside of our planet. These mysteries are also the most challenging to solve. The curiosity of what lies beyond on our planet existed long before the technology or resources were available to research these questions, so prehistoric humans would develop theories to explain what they could see, being the moon, stars, and planets. Globally, every country has spent an extreme amount of money, resources, and time to research and explore our universe to begin answering these questions. The United States and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, commonly known as NASA, began in 1958 and since then has been responsible for the study and engineering behind all american space exploring
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
Final Argumentative Essay: Is Space Exploration Worth It? Have you ever wondered what it’s like in space? The beautiful stars we see from a distance, now up close and vivid, being able to look back down and see the planet we call home, below your feet. We can talk about it all we want, but it means so little if we don’t go, so why wouldn’t we be doing everything we can to go to space?
There have been many questions about the future of human beings as long as we have existed. Today, that question is about space and the future of the Earth. There are many arguments on the future of people on Earth and how we will survive with the decline of the Earth in recent years. Some have suggested settling Mars or other planets, while others say that we should stay on Earth and take better care of it to save it. So what should we do?
Space travel is very expensive. If you take into consideration the food, water, fuel, breathable air and all the parts necessary for the trip, you come to realize that those numbers add up. NASA’s plan for Mars includes a four
Sure, once people get to Mars it is hopefully good times from there, but the trip to
Mars exploration and the possibility of humans being sent to Mars using advanced technology could change life forever. Scientists plan the future of Mars Exploration, they continue to study the planet and question whether or not Mars could ever hold life. Scientists have been working towards sending humans

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.
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.
• There are many different interactions that occur in space which influence various space relationships. o How are humans impacted by different space relationships? o What characteristics define a space relationship? o How have the other sciences (physics, chemistry, biology earth/space science) impacted the relationships that are determined?
We learned to monitor orbiting astronauts- pioneering telemedicine & leading to unprecedented improvements in patient monitoring”(Fowler, 1). Funding for space exploration could help physicians go into space, test materials, bring them back (if promising), and use them on patients. Also adding to that, “ We would be a much more healthy planet and society, if we stopped warring with each other and wasting precious minerals that we have on this Earth -on- war, we would have more resources to spend on more important things such as daily
Although it can be argued that space research is benefiting our humanity in numerous ways, we certainly cannot walk away from the primary challenges of mankind. With the advent of the 21st century, there has been upheaval in many parts of the world that has led to humanitarian crises. Due to violent conflicts, the population of regions are displaced with lack of proper nutrition and residence.
