There are
things that are known and things that are unknown; in between is exploration.

Outer space has always been a curiosity for the human race.
The earliest people viewed the moon and stars with wonder and named the planets
after Roman gods. The first astronomers viewed outer space through primal
telescopes in the 17th century and couldn’t believe what they saw.
In the 1950’s amidst the Cold War, Americans and Soviets were also in a space
race. Space was the next frontier. In 1957 Russia launched Sputnik as the first
missile to enter Earths orbit. Since then Americans have put men on the moon,
rovers on mars, and satellites among the stars. NASA has spent billions of
dollars exploring and working to better understand space and what is in it.
People know so much and yet so little about space. Space exploration matters
because people have the need to understand. Who knows what beneficial resources
might be found in space? It is amazing what modern technology has already
allowed us to learn about space, but there is still so much more to learn! A better understanding of the uncharted
territory could solve problems such as pollution or yield a cure for cancer.
The possibilities with space investigation are endless. It is important that
people continue researching and exploring space to find out what we can
harness. We now know that other planets than Earth in our galaxy can support .
How amazing to find a way that people could adapt to living in zero gravity!
Space exploration matters because without understanding space and exploring it
we can never know what all can be done in space or what we could harness and
use from space. -Brianna Williams

I totally agree, exploring space does matter. Like you said, there are so many things that we know about space, but yet so many things we don't know and we won't know if we don't keep on exploring.
ReplyDeleteSpace Exploration is an important matter because at some point in time our Earth will be gone nd we need to be out of this galaxy before Andromeda hits us. Without exploring space well then we will all be dead. Well that sounds depressing but at some point humans need to get away from here before we all disintegrate.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Brianna states in this post. Space exploration is such a neat thing to explore, and I think it is definitely an important thing to pursue in todays world. I believe exploring space can help us to gain so much knowledge about the universe around us and help us to find useful facts.
ReplyDeleteI agree that space exploration matters. Discovering new things such as zero gravity has given humans much to think about and work with. Humans are curious... exploring space feeds their curiosity. The fact that Humans have found it possible to build rockets and fly to the moon is truly amazing. It truly adds to the motto "all things are possible".
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. I believe that space exploration not only matter, but is something that we should focus more on. There is no telling what all lies out in the universe. Additionally, in the distant future, we can use other planets for resources instead of using resources from Earth.
ReplyDeleteSpace exploration is the next step in the future of modern medicine and harnessing unknown power to benefit earth and its people. Earth has come to a point where we have learned great amounts about our own planet and used many resources in the advancement of mankind. The next logically step is to discover new maethods of advancement that are out of this world. Space exploration matters to the future of mankind.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statements. It really upsets me how we have cut spending on NASA. America said that we were not going to be sending people into space anymore, I just think that we are leaving so much unanswered. I also agree that there might be beneficial resources in space.
ReplyDeleteSome of the most fascinating things in history were found through the space exploration. When you look at all of the things we have found and seen it seems pretty ridiculous that we won't be able to continue the exploration. There is no telling what else we could find and discover.
