Why The United States Should Be Involved In Space Exploration

The human race has landed on the moon, discovered life in the ocean, but the question remains: Have we explored enough? Explorers like Neil Armstrong and Jacques Cousteau have tried their best with the devices they had, but still weren't able to explore the vast world or universe. For a long time it has been debated on whether or not we should continue. A lot of people believe the U.S should be involved in major exploration of the ocean and space because the more we learn about our planet, the better we can sustain it.

If we keep exploring, it's highly likely that we'll learn more about our planet and possibly protect it. Due to our knowledge of space that we know about supernovas that could wipe out power lines and celestial bodies that could kill us all. If we know about these dangers, we can be prepared. “The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program, it'll serve us right!” Quotes Larry Niven. Just like Larry Niven said, exploring space could save us in the long run. We could invent new inventions, and find out how to solve problems like global warming. We could also find out new things by exploring the oceans.

Exploring the oceans could lead to amazing new discoveries, such as the reasons in this paragraph.

Some plants found in the ocean could be used for medicines, food, or other reasons. We could also find relics of the past. “There's probably more history now preserved underwater than in all the museums of the world combined. And there's no low governing that history. It's finders keepers.” Robert Ballard, Ocean Researchers. Finding relics in the ocean will teach us about our past, which is huge! These past discoveries could lead us to figure out why we live the way we live. But, this begs the question, should we explore space or the

ocean?

People have debated for a long time whether we should explore the ocean or space, but why not both? I will agree, that would cost a lot of money, and the U.S is not ready to spend that much money. This is a far-fetched idea, but other countries should help fund space missions and ocean exploration. Although, other countries, including the U.S, would only want to do this for their own benefit. But it won't matter, I believe that most countries can be reasonable and agree with the missions. This would be beneficial to the entire world, so I don't see why not.

Most of space and the ocean remain unexplored, and who knows what kind of secrets they can be hiding? New explorations and new findings can lead to amazing things. Due to our discovery of space we know about the stars and the moon, and species of plants and animals in the ocean. The ocean is most of the world, meaning that anything could be hiding there. But space, which is even bigger, could be hiding tons of different materials. If we don't launch space and ocean explorations, we're missing out on our chance to discover amazing things.
