Pros & Cons of Space Exploration

      Space is wondered throughout the existence of humanity. Frequently, people tried to figure out the universe which is comprised of celestial bodies such as stars. Even, celestial elements were called as gods or spirits by humans occasionally in the past. After the passage of many times, an instinctual natural drive of human exploration led to some significant scientific methods that had been attempted to explore the universe widely. Thus, incredible funds were invested, and technological conditions were advanced by vital research


       On the one hand, most people, experts, and scientists advocate the view that space exploration affairs are leading to several technological in our daily life. Adapted information by NASA generally claimed that “exploration” causes provided benefits to branches of health and transportation, construction, public safety, etc. On the authority of the US World, an additional major advantage owing to space studies is that the progress in internet technologies which contain mobile applications, GPS, and camera sensors. In addition, According to US World, a common benefit in favor of investigations by NASA is that daily-term technological application. This is true up to a point due to the refers to results of NASA research like improvements of home insulations, air purifiers, cardiac pumps, scratch-resistant lenses, etc.

       On the other hand, sceptics often argued that space launches aren’t eco-friendly and cost-effective as well. Therefore, Environmental Conscience believed that space expeditions are increasing the air pollution due to fossil fuels, in the meantime long-term high costs of launches and satellites can be altered to the transition of green energy. For instance, James Webb Space Telescope was funded greatly over twenty years. Another negative aspect of circumstance is that space junk which can explode in orbit caused by batteries, and fuel. To a limited degree, disadvantages markedly criticize the prices and harmful impact of operations.

       To sum up, the opinions of dissidents reflect the environmental demeanor of conserving the world. Against this situation, another dissident group supports the development of technological issues/ In conclusion, I’m firmly inclined to continue to explore the space whatever happens while the arguments suggested that both sides assist their side because of technological and non-technological reasons.
