Space – a new frontier for the expansion of human intellect. To explore the universe and bring back to earth its many wonders is an idea that has been engrained into the very nature of humanity itself. Although it seems a simple idea‚ to travel into space is an enormous endeavor. It requires a virtually limitless budget and an ethical perspective that deems space exploration admissible. To many‚ the exploration of the last frontier would be an invaluable human accomplishment. To many others‚ however

Nowadays‚ there are increasing interests in space research. Some urge that such research is a waste of money. While‚ others think the money spent on those research would rather be allocated to improve on lives on the Earth. I found myself disagreement with such point of view. First of all‚ it is obvious that the study will provide us more knowledge on other planets in terms of environment‚ lives and biology. Such knowledge might be further leveraged into the studies on different subjects‚ such as

You are probably familiar enough with its streets and buildings and landscapes and with the people who inhabit these spaces‚ to make connections among them-you know how to “read” the place.

With said funding‚ we will be able to advance our knowledge and understand of the universe‚ protect the Earth from potential meteor threats‚ and continue to advance our species potential for existence. Space exploration is vital in gaining knowledge of our environment‚ world‚ and the universe in which we live. In addition‚ we should also allow

So why do humans make it essential that we should explore the space even though our impact would barely make a dent in the unfathomable universe. In the article Why Bother to Explore the Universe‚ David Helfand argues and persuades his readers that through astronomy and space exploration we‚ as humans‚ have continued to be as curious and imaginative as ever. This growing interest for what

Space Exploration Is space exploration a waste of resources or a useful contribution to society? I am here to present to you my views on this topic. Firstly‚ I would like to start off by saying that I believe space exploration can really be a waste of time and money. Though some of the discoveries might be interesting to us on Earth‚ I fail to see why people and companies (like NASA) spend so much money on things that don’t help us very much when there are people dying every second due to hunger

A confined space tends to be an arch nemesis to contractors and construction employees. The incident I will refer to for this question deals quite directly with the hazards of confined spaces. The Human factor theory of accident causation attributes accidents to a chain of events ultimately caused by human error‚ this is the case especially when it comes to confined space entry. The systems theory models are the person‚ the machine‚ environment and information; risks; and the task to be performed
