Asteroids vs. Comets Spacecrafts have retrieved extraordinarily valuable information that has furthered the human race’s knowledge of what exists in outer space. However‚ spacecrafts and shuttles are extremely expensive to build and launch into space so they should be well taken care of. Sending a spacecraft to an asteroid is far better and safer than sending a spacecraft to a comet for quite a few different reasons. First‚ an asteroid is made up of less materials than a comet. Next‚ comets

This data was key because it informed astronauts and scientists that human travel through the belt would prove to be easier than they had originally anticipated and predicted‚ allowing for further space travel possibilities. As the spacecraft moved closer to Jupiter‚ it took many measurements of the planet’s magnetosphere
