Ever wonder what the REAL final frontier is? When figuring this out most people say it´s Space. I am here to say it´s the ocean.
Right now only about 5% of the ocean floor is truly discovered by human eyes. This leaves 95% left to explore. With this must unexplored area I am saying we need to start exploring more ocean. As John F. Kennedy says, “ We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.¨ To me this quote says that whether we are going to sail the ocean or watch its beauty, we are going back to where we evolved from.
Exploring the ocean has many benefits to us. Exploring the ocean can, ¨ reveal new sources on medical drugs, food, energy resources, and other products.¨ - oceanexplorer.noaa.gov. There are even more beneficial things from exploring the ocean then just this. My point is that if we can learn about all these things by exploring then why are we not doing it? This brings me to my next point.

With the Noaa getting not as much money as Nasa then they don't have enough money to explore as much as they would like. Now you Space fans may think, ¨ Oh well building a rocket takes a lot more money to build then building and running a submarine.¨ While that is true what would you get with space exploration? Some of you would probably say, ¨ We could find another planet to inhabit.¨ Ok but, why do we need to find another planet to inhabit right now? We can go explore the ocean and stay on Earth longer. In our lifetime we won´t need another planet to
understanding of how the oceans work. The hope is that as a result, we will
So why venture into space? The obvious reasons will of course be power and money, the two things that have forever ruled the world and will no doubt continue to do so. But what other motives can there be for this extraordinary thirst for exploration?
Major exploration may harm the environment due to how we exploit resources. According to Philippe Cousteau’s commentary, he states that “the world has fished, mined and trafficked the ocean’s resources to a point where we are actually seeing dramatic changes that are seriously impacting today’s generations” (70). This emphasizes that attempting major exploration has an impact in our environment. Additionally, Elisabeth Rosenthal’s “Stinging Tentacles Offer Hint of Oceans’ Decline” gives us an idea how pollution affects the climate. Dr. Josep-MarÍa Gili
Earth has served as a good home for humans for many years, and will most likely
Over the past few years, NASA has been the victim of larger and larger budget cuts. The United States government thinks that money that should be being used for funding NASA is more useful elsewhere. This is a real shame, space travel is the future. One day we will run out of resources,or become over crowded on Earth, and mankind will have to expand to the stars for another place to live. Space travel is our future and needs exploration. NASA should be more highly funded by the United States government, in order to continue research towards future objectives.
One of the qualities of the human race is that humans love to explore and find new things, like how Christopher Columbus found America. With most of our planet documented now, where do we have to go? The answer is simply one of the only places we haven’t yet (or may never) explore all of: space. Wars may be waged over land on earth, as there isn’t any new land to find there. So, we can go into space where unexplored land can be conquered and colonized. And while it may not seem like it, in the near future, it may be possible to colonize humans in space.
Racism in itself can be a considered a monster by many standards. Cohen’s “Monster Culture” makes this seem so real when in comparison to his thesis’s of what monster culture can be seen as. He references the monster of something that has power and an advantage over anyone or group of people. While racism is the obvious monster in this scenario, Morton brings into question the monster of the police force as he includes the “Police Line Do Not Cross” tape in the image. Monsters create boundaries that should not be dared to cross. In Thesis 6, Cohen goes on to explain that a monster creates boundaries and anyone who goes beyond the boundaries is subject to punishment. The monster in this case created a man and that man created the boundaries
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was one of the most famous and influential presidents in the history of the United States. During his presidency, he attempted to make several reforms, supported by his “New Frontier” legislature. The goals of the New Frontier were to improve school funding, civil rights, and foreign policy. The New Frontier was to make the American population feel as if no frontier was impossible to achieve, including the controversial final frontier of space. Despite the fact that many of his acts and bills were not passed or supported by Congress, the New Frontier was what led to many of the greatest advancements which helped shape America today.
Oceans are such so vast that people underestimate the impact their actions —seeming so insignificant— have on them. Humans have by and large taken the oceans for granted; not considering how important a healthy ocean is to our survival. A popular mind-set is that the oceans are a bottomless supply of fish, natural resources, and an infinite waste dump. There are myriad reasons why the oceans should be saved and the most obvious one is marine life. With 71% of the Earth being covered by water, it is obvious that sea creatures are predominant form of life, making up 80% of the species of life on Earth. However, as important as marine life is, that is not the only reason why saving the oceans is crucial. The ocean floor provides natural resources such as, oil, natural gas, petroleum, minerals, medications, and ingredients for foods and products. The economic benefits of the oceans are huge and significant, as well. Fishing and fish products have provided employment to 38 million people and have generated about $124 billion in economic benefits. However, oceans are on the verge of crisis, marine life, natural resources, transportation, the economy, and important ingredients are at risk due to overfishing, pollution, and acidification. Thus, in this essay I will argue that, oceans are not impervious to human activity and threatening the health of the ocean threatens the health of humanity, since oceans key to our survival.
NASA’s research and innovation looked promising, but it came at a cost. Money, resources, and spacecraft accidents, most famously Apollo 13 all hindered NASA’s research. In the 21st century, the debate over funding for NASA is at its peak since the birth of the organization in 1958, especially when there are numerous problems throughout the world. Is the money spent on space exploration worth the advantages and advances it contributes to society? When considering this topic, one might ask themselves, why explore space?
Not only that, but our population has been growing at an extremely alarming rate. At our current rate, our species may not be able to survive for much longer. This is where space exploration comes in. With the recent discovery of water on Mars, and the finding of Kepler-78b, it is possible that mankind can prolong our existence. The possibility of interstellar travel seems to be an option, or even a necessity, if we wish to continue living.
Mankind has always been fascinated with exploring the unknown. From sailing to distant lands to someday setting foot on other planets, the spirit of exploration is the same. Bur now with the current economic situation and the high cost of sending people to space, NASA is being looked at as a way to free up some much needed funds. Although, there is many problems here on planet Earth that need addressing, the benefits of space exploration far out weight the disadvantages. Space exploration has given us more advanced technology, advances in the medical field, and a boost to the economy and these facts cannot be disputed.
The 1960's brought new advancements for all of Earth. Machines and men were sent into space, and this sparked a new government agency, called NASA. Space was a new frontier, and virtually everyone was interested in exploring it. Over the years, the interest in space exploration has weakened, and NASA was almost terminated from existence, although there have been many advancements in it over that time. Space exploration should continue because it could help solve many problems on Earth, such as overpopulation and lack of resources. Exploration of the final frontier must continue in order for human life to continue.
It is in human nature to explore every frontier attainable: from leaving the cradle of civilization in Africa, to the nomadic people crossing the Bering Land Strait to the America’s, and, more recently, the Americans who explored the western part of North America. These acts of exploration have brought new lands to settle, while also producing economic and social benefits to the people or nations that have explored these frontiers. Yet, for millennia, humanity has looked up to the stars in wonder, and it is only now in the past half century that civilization has taken its first steps towards exploring this final frontier. Nevertheless, our species are still far from making deep space travel plausible and reaping the benefits of space exploration. Our universe is astronomical in scale, yet the human race can only see and
The ocean can serve man purposes things for many different people; as a school, a home, a park...
