People think that extreme exploration is helpful to satisfy curiosity, but others think it’s a waste of time and money. People think that it isn’t worth the cost. I believe it’s worth a cost because there are advances in medicine, technology, and the economy. Some find medicine which leads to new technology which leads to the growth in the economic community. For example in “The Adventure of Sojourner” the rover’s battery lasted for a month. That battery could be used in earth on cars and on helicopter which helps the economy. Others find medicine to cure diseases like cancer.
We conduct extreme exploration so we could find plants or herbs. In space, we could find a planet that is undiscovered could have plants and water that cures injuries and illness. In deep sea exploration we could find underwater creatures that help the economy .In “Why Exploring the Ocean Is Mankind’s Next Giant Leap” Filmmaker, James Cameron, says “A new era of ocean exploration can yield discoveries that will help in form everything from critical medical advances to sustainable forms of energy.”
When people conduct extreme exploration, new technology is invented. When new technology is invented it helps the economy. In “JFK’s speech” he states that “Just as wartime development of the radar gave us the transistor (use in radios), and all that it made possible, so research in space medicine holds the promise of sustainable benefits” for us on earth. The next reason is the economy
We conduct extreme exploration helps the economy. Technology helps the economy, for example in “The adventures of Sojourner” the rover’s battery would be used on mostly cars. Extreme exploration helps provide jobs. In “Beneath Blue Waters” the dives employ “Technicians, divers, crews, and scientists” (602). In “Is Space Exploration Worth a Cost? A Freakonomic Quorum” states “We explore space and create new technologies to advance our economy
People think that extreme exploration is a waste of time and money. People say that extreme exploration will lower Nasa’s budget of all the parts, battery, and prototypes of the rover. We do extreme exploration because there are advances in medicine, technology, and the economy. In “Is Space Exploration Worth The Cost? A Freakonomic Quorum” states that “Space explorationwill eventually allow us to establish a human civilization on another world (e.g. mars) as a hedge against the type of catastrophe that wiped out the dinosaurs” that could happen if the was a meteor twice as large as earth. Extreme exploration is really important to earth. We have to influence people that say it’s a bad idea to change their mind about it being a good idea
