Argumentative Essay: The Search For Alien Life
When I was younger my dad and I was at the bus stop waiting for the school bus to arrive, when we looked up in the sky, still kind of dark and this light is just sitting there. It was very bright but also looked like the North Star so we did not pay it much attention when all of a sudden it took off faster than the speed of light. My dad and I just looked at each other and brushed it off. Sometimes we still talk about that morning but we never say anything to anyone because we did not have proof. My heart started pumping real fast id scared us because we have never seen anything like it. In my opinion it seems that we are searching for something that does not want found. We have an area in Nevada called “area 51” that is supposedly a testing site with the United States Air Force, but I believe they store things there that they do not want the public to know. I also believe they already have extraterrestrial life objects there if not one them already there. There is a lot the government does not tell us …show more content…
Here’s the breakdown: Science: $5.237 billion, Exploration: $4.759 billion, Space operations: $3.957 billion, Education: $119 million, other: $3.23 billion (un-telling what this is going to be used for) and the Grand total is $18.5 Billion dollars. I am sorry but that number is just ridiculous. There are way too many other things we could spend 18 billion dollars on. I understand we want to travel around space to see what else is out there and the other planets we could survive off but that is crazy. When we find another planet to live off we are just going to destroy it too! For the aliens apparently they do not want to be found or it would have been simple. What are we going to do when we do find them? Are we going to old them captive until we figure them

    What is the best solution to a more successful future? This question is in the minds of many students and parents. In my opinion, I think that attending a public school is a better solution than attending a private school. This choice is affected greatly by the overall performance, capabilities of the student and the financial budget of the parent. There are advantages and disadvantages of both private and public schools.…

    Lund 1 Aaron Lund Professor Dorn English 102 15 November XXXX Preserving Yellowstone’s Winter Wilderness Although a few recreational snowmobilers destroy fragile ecosystems and harass animals as they ride through the wilderness, most love and respect this country’s natural heritage. That’s why they brave the cold to explore what is left of wild America— including Yellowstone National Park. Unfortunately, however, even respectful snowmobilers are unwittingly damaging what they love. Because snowmobiles create both air and noise pollution and because their use in the park strains the already lean budget of the park service, recreational snowmobiles should be banned from Yellowstone National Park. In 2002, the Bush administration, under pressure from the snowmobile industry, proposed to reverse the National Park Service’s 2000 plan that would have phased out recreational snowmobile use in Yellowstone. In addition to reversing the earlier plan, the new policy would increase the number of snowmobiles allowed into the park per day. This policy is a step in the wrong direction. It may be hard to imagine that 1,100 snowmobiles a day (the proposed limit) could cause an air pollution problem in a park half the size of Connecticut, but in fact they can. The air pollution at park entrances has already become so bad in winter, according to environmental reporter Julie Cart, that fresh air has to be…

    I read about the Apollo missions and the obsession with space exploration. Space exploration has been a human fascination since the early 1960s, probably even before then actually. The first person to be put into space was in was Yuir Gagarin at the age of 27, by the Russian Soviet Union. However, it wasn't until 1969 that NASA successfully landed the first man (men) on the moon, with the Apollo 11space mission. Interestingly enough, NASA hasn't attempted go revisit the moon since. Many speculate humans never made it to the moon, and that all of the "evidence" was entirely fabricated.Regardless, ever since then, humans have been fascinated with the idea of trying to reach other planets and possibly inhabit them. Many attempts to find life on…

    After looking through computer simulated data, scientists have suggested that the planet Kepler-62f might be habitable for life. If that's so, it could open up a legion of other theories suggesting life exists on other systems surrounding Earth. Judging by NASA's history with lying, they very well could have known about aliens for years. Let's hope they're not dangerous.…

    Even if we discontinue the funding of NASA we could still have some control over space in some way by setting laws so the states could have some control over the private companies that would fund themselves. If we keep funding NASA or set some control over the private companies we may be able to make some profit off of the space program and besides, would you rather live in space or on another planet, than stay on earth. And in any way the earth is going to inevitably die anyway so basically the only way to survive is to leave this planet and go to an entirely different solar system and find a faster source of space travel like a “Warp Drive” or a “Black Hole Engine” to…

    Heavenly quasars and stars pepper the universe, making the cold space less of a barren and frozen wasteland, in my opinion the stars are the true inhabitants of the universe. We should be thankful that we have the consciousness to appreciate the destructive beauty of space.

    NASA does a “lot of different things” including looking for extraterrestrial life (NASA budget cuts, 2013). NASA has been on a mad hunt to try and find new life. A big accomplishment for NASA is that they have been able to find old microorganisms on Mars. This suggests that there has once been life on Mars. They are trying their hardest to try and get people living Mars. They have set up a program that allows people to sign up to live on Mars.…

    The definition of abortion is; “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus.” The abortion controversy is one of the biggest debates that have been going on for years. Many people feel that aborting an unwanted child should be outlawed. Others consider it as immoral and possibly even murder. I support the right to privacy and the idea women should have the choice to do what she pleases with her own body. As a female, I believe that the government has no right to dictate what happens to a woman’s body. Therefore, everyone should become pro-choice.…

    Are aliens walking among us on earth? Scientists at the University of California hypothesize that this could be possible. They theorize that aliens have lived on earth among humans for quite some time. Camouflaged and acting as observers. Maybe you believe in aliens. Maybe the idea of aliens living on earth is absolutely absurd. In either case, it may not be too unrealistic to imagine. After all, NASA is spending large sums of money to find ancient Martian civilizations. If any evidence supporting an earth inhabited by aliens existed, would the government share it with the public?…
