“The International Space Station alone has generated scores of medical innovations with uses on Earth, such as a method for delivering cancer-fighting medication directly to tumors; gadgetry that a nurse can hold to perform ultrasounds and transmit the results to a doctor thousands of miles away; and a robotic arm that can perform delicate surgery inside an MRI machine.”

“A wisely funded space program enables us to spot a dangerous object long before it strikes Earth, and send a spacecraft to plant and detonate a nuclear explosion that could nudge it off its collision course [sources: NASA, NSS].”

Space exploration could boost our national security by having security from outer space.

# data[].attributes.body
We could find resources in outer space.

# data[].attributes.body
Space exploration could inspire the next generation.

# data[].attributes.body
It could help bring the nations together.

# data[].attributes.body
We could find extraterrestrial life.

# data[].attributes.body
It could fulfill our need to explore.

“The Earth’s surface is over 70% water. The oceans, which were once seen as impossible to traverse as deep space is today, still remain mostly unexplored. Over 95% of the depths have never been seen by human eyes,and with each passing day we discover new species of marine life which look as alien as aliens can get. Exploring the depths of the ocean could have some great and unexpected scientific benefits.”

There’s too many risks that could occur.

“Almost all scientists will agree  that distance is actually measured with time. Space and time are not two different things, but one and the same. When we want to meet with someone, we always specify both a time and place since mentioning only one will get us nowhere. But humans operate with infinitesimally small numbers compared to what the Universe is used to.”

The loss or gain of gravity could hurt us.

We need our A.I. to be very reliable before we start exploring.

# data[].attributes.body
We could introduce and bring back new diseases unknown to man.

“What we’re most afraid of in the event of a distant civilization visiting us will most likely be the same thing we would do to others if we were the visitors.”

# data[].attributes.body
We could reignite national disputes between countries when we’ve been mostly peaceful for awhile.

# data[].attributes.body
We need to protect what we already have and save what’s left of our planets ecosystems and resources.

# data[].attributes.body
Many billion dollar companies are making their own space crafts, example being SpaceX.

# data[].attributes.body
We’ve only ever been to the moon so far.

# data[].attributes.body
Space Tourism is a huge unexplored market that has tons of potential interest.

# data[].attributes.body
China, Russia, and the U.S.A. are the only countries with human space programs.

# data[].attributes.body
We could mine while in space for more resources.

# data[].attributes.body
Nations are coming together and some 14 space programs from different countries have even worked together.

# data[].attributes.body
We’ve gotten rovers on mars, but it’ll be awhile until we get man on Mars.

# data[].attributes.body
We’re close to making a space station on the moon.

# data[].attributes.body
There’s tons of competition so this will create each group and space program to work their best to get to new frontiers before the other.

A big question is, “is human space travel worth the price tag?”
