Space travelling, is it beneficial to human life?
|
|
I keep thinking this question everytime I read an astronomy article in the newspapers. What is it that makes every country what to send astronouts to space? Why does people what to build a space station in the space? And the important part is, why do people want to study the space? The only answer that I can think of is only for human satisfaction. Satisfied because we are able to solve the mysteries of the universe.But what else? Can anyone tell me the important of studying the space? I'm asking this because I've grown fond to astronomy. I'm looking for answers that can erase this doubtful feeling inside of me toward astronomy. T. Q.

There are many reasons why people wish to study space... 1. People wish to know what's around out of natural curiosity and so they can use that knowledge for humanity's benefit. 2. Countries wish to compete with one another and space is just another way for them to do it, so they send astronauts into space to make themselves look good (damn jackasses) 3. The universe isn't just what's outside the Earth, it's literally EVERYTHING. If we can learn more about what's out there, we can learn more about the Earth too. 4. If a disaster every occured to the Earth that would make inhospitibal, we need to find somewhere else to live. The universe is a fragile place, if just a little thing happens, all hell brakes loose. If a large asteroid were to hit Earth or if the sun ran out of helium (that's what powers it basically), we would all be screwed so we need to find out what's out there so we can continue to live. 5. ...ALIENS!
You need a reason to be sad. You don't need a reason to be happy. The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible.

There are also a great number of resources in space that we can use. It might be too expensive to use them now, but is space travel gets cheaper or if we run out of resources, We can get what we need from the skies. 0 gravity research presents a lot of possibilities in medical, material, biologica, and many more fields of research that are not possible on earth. There are many more ideas, but right now I can't seem to think of them. The two above are just the ones that came to my mind right now. If I think of more, I will post them. Of course I don't want to repeat what has been said before. |

If countries are busy trying to accomplish space travel, then they are spending less time nuking each other and fighting wars.

Well that really depends on what is more important: the knowledge you get or the money that is spent. If knowledge is more important than it is beneficial (obviously) But if somebody thinks that money is more important than they would think that it's simply a waste of cash that could be used for something else (health, education, their own personal use,...) Any way, humans have always been curious. So yes it is beneficial. Everything we learn can only make our lives better.

I agree on what Me said the Universe IS a fragile place, and if a astriod hits, it will first send a HUGE shockwave, then the heat will come, vaporazing everything on the surface. The Earth might split into pieces(if the astriod is big enough!), then we have to make life on another planet.(Me, a star use HYDROGEN as the base fuel, helium is like the 'waste' product of the atomic fusion of the hydrogen plasma. The helium plasma the also creates nuclear fusion, which creates beryllium, and so on, thus creating carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Bigger stars can create elements up to iron. The heavyer elements are created during the sun's supernova. Then the sun either shrinks into a black drawf, or colapses into a black hole.)Aliens are out there, alright, but what makes you think we can find them so fast.

YES I think space travle is beneficial, but we as humans do not even know our own planet that well. AT pressent man has only bean able to dig 6 to 10,000 feet deep in the earths crust, we also have not bean able to explore the deepest dethps of any major ocean. ONLY the lord knows what kined of creachers, that may be able to help cure some of our, major biological diseases that are in our own world. LET us know about are own planet first, befor we go travling into outter space, and fined that ET is not so friendly.

would help humans to escape the solar system when sun goes SUPER SAIYAN or red giant on us. dun think human race will survive that long too....probably will kill each other off in the next 100 years. so in the end, pretty much useless to travel space
