Discuss the pros and the cons of space exploration.

Arguments/facts:
-Colonizing other plants may help to mitigate the overpopulation problem: It is expected that by the end of the 21st century we will be more than 10 billion people in the world.Its unclear how we are able to feed all those people.So if our planet is no longer useful for everyone, we will have to find another alternative, such as colonizing a planet.
-Space exploration is quite costly: Space missions are quite expensive and depending on the duration of them they can be more.
Many missions may not yield any results:Another disadvantage of space travel is that those space missions also often do not deliver any results.

Dialogue:
Is it necessary to spend so much money on space missions, instead of spending it on resources on earth?

How we will adapt to colonized planets?And what will be the impact in humanity?

Summary:
In conclusion, Space exploration has its advantages and disadvantages. In the end, what we do will depend on the big leaders and companies. If we manage to discover new life and habitable planets in space, humanity will be safe from catastrophes on earth.

Over the next 50 years, at least a few key developments will transform our idea of space more than ever before.

Arguments/facts:

- According to Scott Hubbard, a Stanford University professor who ran NASA’s Ames Research Center, 75% of the global space enterprise is already commercial, including satellites belonging to the likes of SiriusXM radio and DirecTV.

- Meanwhile, architect and design firms have unveiled plans for lunar habitats. The structures consist of modules covered in lunar soil that are then molded into an exterior shell for protection from radiation, asteroid strikes and extreme temperatures. This space architecture is also envisioned for Mars colonies, too.

- Industry leaders have become more serious about mining for space resources, partially because Earth’s own resources are facing depletion due to climate change. Lunar ice may be one of the last resources to be mined by humans because of its cost to mine and find it.


Dialogue:

- When will it be possible for us to obtain lunar ice more easily and in larger amounts ?

- Do these structures really guarantee 100% security to resist all the circumstances in the moon or mars ?

- How important is it for us to mine more resources from space in order for the human race to advance technologically and socially ?


Summary:
As more people feel comfortable flying to space, an increase in space tourism will lay the foundations for people who want to start building lives there as well. The European Space Agency, under the leadership of Jan Woerner, continues to push the Moon Village concept of open, collaborative exploration and utilization of the moon. Some experts predict that by 2061, millions of humans will have gone to space and thousands may live there. The amount of activity in private and public sectors will force movement in utilizing space resources to benefit space settlements and even Earth’s population. companies like Blue Origin and Japan’s ispace already have plans to mine for resources on Mars.



Dylan Taylor, (December 5, 2019), Op-ed | Envisioning the next 50 years in space, retrieved from: https://spacenews.com/op-ed-envisioning-the-next-50-years-in-space/]]> 2023-01-26 15:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/polfont1/loy4f04nfnxvmtzm/wish/2457747127 polfont1 https://padlet.com/polfont1/loy4f04nfnxvmtzm/wish/2469017203 Main Idea:
The asteroid belt is extremely rich in metals, from iron and nickel, to gold and platinum. It’s estimated there is at least $700 billion billion worth of minerals in the belt, and companies are being set up all around the world to mine these resources in a gold rush for the 21st century.


Arguments/Facts:

-  Taking mining away from Earth could greatly reduce the destruction of our planet’s environment. Rare earth metals are needed to make the electronics inside our latest gadgets, due to society's greed for technology. Mining these metals causes a huge amount of damage to both the surrounding ecosystem and the miners.

- New mines in space could also provide rare elements needed to create the tools we need to prevent the current environmental crisis. Solar panels, electric cars and energy saving light bulbs all require elements that are getting rare on Earth, such as platinum.

- "Platinum is one of the main ingredients that allow hydrogen cars to work, and normal cars to run cleaner,” says Hunter-Scullion. “But it is a highly limited resource, so if we can bring more onto the planet then we can run more environmentally friendly cars," which would eliminate one of the major sources of climate change.


Dialogue:

- Mining for resources in space will definitely be a huge factor in contributing towards climate change, as it will allow us to obtain resources which are critical on earth.

- These spatial journeys can also be taken advantage of to gain a better understanding on those planets that are being mined.

- When will the next mission be launched for mining, and which planet will it take place on?


Summary:

Space is incredibly rich in resources which are increasingly rare on earth and could possibly become unattainable in the next few years. Therefore, it is crucial in order for the human race to keep advancing and to prevent the destruction of earth from climate change. This year, the Colorado School of Mining began running the world’s first space resources university course, the graduates of which will head out into space to make their fortune. The primary mining targets include: The Moon, Near-Earth asteroids, The asteroid belt, and Jupiter.
