but guys i leart so much more from this article and the comments than i would have learnt on wikipedia!! Eliminate Earth Over Population – The current earth population is almost 6.8 BILLION people. Real space exploration is done using telescopes. Therefore, do not spend any more money in space exploration. and should perhaps research things a bit and re-evaluate that stance.Thank you for you slightly angered comments.
Maybe, we should be exploring ways to live on this planet without destroying it, instead of looking to colonize the moon or mars. Sadly, you are not interested in basic research.of course, we have to consider that space programs take time to progress in, and therefore we must start preparing now, before it’s too late and we run out of resources.All of the 5 points related to how space exploration can be achieved HERE ON PLANET EARTH. get a life you jerksThe debate about this topic is really good, both sides show a pretty good argument.ok i have no idea who made this web site but what i do know thet it helped a crap load on my history notes, so thank you so much to the auther of the site!! He means eventually, after a lot of research and advancement.> There will be no more excuses for hiking up prices on barrels of oil.Don’t you know that oil is a byproduct of life and that we know for sure that there is no significant biomass on the Moon or Mars?Space exploration is, at this time, a waste of time and money while we have much more important business here on earth.We have much more to learn about our oceans for example, and going back to the Moon or to Mars will not help no anything about these.
Astronomers study these planets to find out what their current and past conditions can teach us about our own planets.
Humanity's interest in the heavens has been universal and enduring. Don’t even bother making the math for Mars, priceless.We need a 10 year goal, not for going back to the Moon but to become sustainable. Mars, in its early years, is thought to have had lakes of liquid water, but that water is gone now. 40 years ago, space flight inspired such awe that astronauts were hailed as heroes and celebrities by men, women, and children alike. Just because you have a low I.Q. I am a fan of Sagan’s ideas.Of course space colonization wont happen tomorrow, but if we just give up on exploration now what message does that send to future generations?I leave you with a quote from Jim Lovell. People have to fund what is relevant for today, and space is really not relevant to the public. !I am actually writing a speech for school about Space Exploration. You tell me. We humans are is His best of creations and we are provided with a limited knowledge beyond which if you try to think will go blank. the Gliese system) I suggest you check out Carl Sagan’s Documentary Cosmos, specifically Episode 8: “Journeys in Space and Time.” This particular episode shows plans made for interstellar space vehicles.Nearly anything is possible with enough time and money. Let’s focus on what’s really important to the people, instead of nebulous desires that are not feasible.Sadly, you are unaware of NASA spin-off technologies. After all, they know only two words! Why explore space? The intangible desire to explore and challenge the boundaries of what we know and where we have been has provided benefits to our society for centuries.This is the beginning of a new era in space exploration in which NASA has been challenged to develop systems and capabilities required to explore beyond low-Earth orbit, including destinations such as translunar space, near-Earth asteroids and eventually Mars.The first step in embarking on a long and challenging journey involves laying solid groundwork for a successful endeavor. We need somewhere to put all these people, or we all might end up living in skyscrapers…”. There are ample problems with which to contend here on Earth, and that leads some people to wonder if space exploration is worth the hassle. I have been recently seeing antispace exploration talks with some other folks and am dismayed at their lack of imagination and curiosity.
Former NASA Administrator Mike Griffin described two types of answers: “ acceptable reasons ” and “ real reasons ”. These spacecraft traveled to the outer planets! And how many qualified jobs are you talking about? For some, the irony is almost too much to bear. i think space is awsome and if you really want to say those really. Let’s move on.Is understanding all of this REALLY relevant for today? We can’t whine about the debt, the political problems and other stuff. The intangible desire to explore and challenge the boundaries of what we know and where we have been has provided benefits to our society for centuries. why do we waste money on welfare and jailbird programs for losers, when we could be investing more in exploration and creating new technologies and products? For every scientist doing worthy work, there are probably 100 who do what greed asks them to.How about we train more people in organic farming, or sustainable life style and shut down a few science departments.thanks ya’ll this helped me on my school project over a debate against or for space exploration i appriciate it!woah, why would you mention these random things like killing a cat? “Human’s have shown through the space program, by working together, anything is possible”If you believe no one could ever travel “to the stars,” (e.g.
