Is Major Exploration Worth the Risk Major exploration shouldn’t be supported because of all the things that can go wrong. Space and ocean exploration can be hard and may cause harm to people’s health. Traveling through space has a risk on your life, losing someone close for years is hard to keep inside you, going to the deep ocean gives a lot of risk because it is unknown.
Missions to space pose a great risk on astronauts. Space exploration risks human life. Staying in a spacecraft is not easy, the conditions are harsh, and making the survival during space travel is a challenge. The effects of radiation on the body and bone loss are all a risk that you must take to go and explore in space. According to the website NASA, “The human body is

Searching a place that has harmful predators, no oxygen, and creatures that you don’t know could have damage because you never know when a shark is behind you. If you were studying a new fish that looked innocent but suddenly stung you with a poison that killed you, is it worth it? According to Quora, “Most of the body can handle any pressure, but if we're breathing air the maximum safe depth is about 60 meters (190 feet), the feasible maximum with current technical capabilities (and special breathing gases) is about 500 meters (but, for safety reasons, those depths have only been simulated). Assuming we can crack a condition called High Pressure Nervous Syndrome (HPNS) that we don't know much about, we might theoretically go down to about 2-4 km (200-400 atmospheres) at which point even helium will probably kill us.”
Exploring the “unknown” is a bad idea because it causes many damages to the humans, it could affect your life, will give no connection with someone in your family for years or months, ocean exploration is basically unknown exploration. Major exploration shouldn’t be supported because of all these things that can go horribly
Exploration has been an important action to take part of since the beginning of time. We have to explore to find out what’s out there right? We could potentially obtain so much knowledge, and so many resources. You can only obtain the maximum potential of something if your motives and ideology are correct. A great example of someone who had the potential to do so much good, and obtain so much greatness was a Chinese admiral by the name of Zheng He. Zheng He watched his father die at the hand of the Ming Dynasty, along with being castrated himself. Zheng He was forced to join thousands of eunuchs, and then rose quickly through the ranks of the military. The emperor basically assigned Zheng He the task of leading a fleet of exploration
Have you ever been sailing out in the ocean well if you have did you know that you could have been several hurt and have lost your ship. In the two text “Rogue Wave” by theodore taylor and "Parents of Rescued Teenage Sailor Abby Sunderland Accused of Risking Her Life" by paul harris they both have similar reasons of why it is risky to make an adventure. Both text illustrate how it's risky because it can possible put you in agonizing pain, you can also lose an object that you are very proud of. The two text both explain the an adventure is very risky.
With the ocean being so spread out all over the world, not much has been explored. The world itself is made of 97% of ocean, but with that only 5% has actually been explored (Brett).
First of all, exploration is worth the risk because with risks, new discoveries are made. In the movie, “Hidden Figures,” Katherine Johnson took the risk to speak her mind to Al Harrison, and he made the discover that the
In the excerpt “Living in the Dark,” the author Cheryl Bardoe ends her excerpt by saying that ocean exploration is worth the study. In the text, the author stated,”This is definitely worth investigating your whole life to study,” Herrera says.” In my opinion, I believe ocean exploration is worth investigating.
The first reason to agree that exploring is worth it is there is so much ocean with new things out there. According to the text, “A new era of ocean exploration can yield new discoveries…,” (Cousteau 193). This example
Astonishingly, Did you know that we have better maps of the moon than we do of the ocean? (#7) It’s true! Scientists are working to make drones to explore the deep sea. Ocean Exploration is a developing science that incorporates the use of marine biology and drone technology. Ocean Exploration technology will be an overall benefit to society because 1. exploring the ocean is easier than before and 2. ocean exploration can help with monitoring the deep sea.
To start with, space exploration generates great wealth for America. “Economic, scientific, and technological returns of space have far exceeded the investment”, said Dr. Joan Vernikos (“Is Space Exploration Worth the Cost” 29-31). Space exploration does cost quite a bit but, the benefits greatly out number the cost. “In 2007, NASA’s budget of $16.3 billion is a minute fraction of the $13 trillion total G.D.P.”, said Dr. Joan Vernikos. Space explorations budget is so limited, yet so much comes out of it. So in other words, Space exploration is risky and does cost money but the benefits are phenominiall.
IF we get involved in the exploration of space and the ocean, then when we discover big things then we could proudly tell the world we discovered something big. Let’s say we discovered something big, well then, we would like to explore it more. Like a wrecked ship, if we want to explore it maybe it will have something good then we can explore. But we would have to be careful so no one gets hurt. If we find something big on the river or in space it could mean new things and more discovery.
Although space exploration is now being emphasized on and invested in, what does this do to benefit earth or even every individual who lives on Earth? Many writers, engineers, mathematicians, and chemists can agree that space exploration is going to provide more research for medicine and environmental factors. Others may also argue that the risks of exploring another planet will be too damaging because the life or atmosphere as it is will not be the same after humans have made their print on it.
The mysteries of space and ocean have always struck our attention. The question “what’s out there, what creatures live there, do water monsters and aliens exist, always pop up. However, could the risks become a barrier to our curiosity? I believe that major exploration could be a benefit for our society and our way of life. I think that major exploration could benefit us because we have a chance of finding resources, predicting the future of the planet, and provide us with advanced technology.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, “roughly 95% of the ocean has been unseen by human eyes”. (How Much of the Ocean Have We Explored?) With 70% of the earth covered in water, it is a big issue that exploration of the earth has been put on the backburner. With the slow movement of underwater exploration, we are missing out on vast possibilities that the undiscovered underwater world holds. There have been many advancements in the pharmaceutical field due to the discovery of plants and animals. Major restrictions of deep oceanic exploration are water pressure, the limitations of power and control of the submersible unit, and financial backing. In this
To conclude my argument I can definitely say that space exploration is worth the cost. It generates wealth for America and can broaden the knowledge of many people across the country. As Kennedy said in his speech, “...we shall climb this wall with safety and speed and we shall explore the wonders on the other side.” With all the progress that has been made, humans can decide that space is indeed a
Being adventurous is how you start to understand who you really are. Many people believe it is dangerous to travel, not worth it. But I believe, the world is dangerous. There are shootings everyday but getting out there and risking it is just living. Being adventurous shows you how others have to live, what so many people deal with every day. Or what so many people get to see every day, the beautiful yet cruel world we live in. There is a purpose for everything here, it is meant to be seen. We are not here to work everyday and then go home to rest and do it all over again, we were made to make a difference and to understand the world. Mountains were made to climb, oceans were made to be seen, and landmarks were too, “in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a
It is impossible to stimulate our economy or to find new things in space without a space effort. The space exploration has only begun and it has only been happening for four decades so why stop something that only has truly begun.
