how do u explain the importance of space exploration in an essay in 500 words?

Question

i need ideas so i can go to the NASA camp

Answer 1

500 words is *not* a lot: give a brief synopsis on the benefits space exploration can have for the world, etc. Briefly discuss benefits we have already had and potential benefits that we can look forward to upon further exploration.

If your writing style is anything like mine, the hardest part will be keeping it down to 500 words.

Answer 2

Do you consider space exploration important? If you're trying to go to NASA camp, I imagine they will want to see an essay where it's clear the writer (you) really believes space exploration is important, rather than just a mindless essay rattling off a bunch of facts found in an encyclopedia.

Try talking into a tape recorder about your feelings about space exploration and why you *personally* think it's a good thing. (Or talk to a friend and have another friend take notes.) Some things you might ponder are what we could do if we found sources of elements and molecules on other planets that are not readily available here on Earth and what we could do with them -- new medicines, building supplies, whatever. Or think about how the human body reacts in zero gravity and how doctors could study what happens and perhaps find new cures for diseases like arthritis. Just start toying with the idea of what kind of ways such studies could benefit humans and go with it.

Once you get a bunch of ideas, just start writing like you would an email. (Or, you might even try writing an email to a friend, and just keep talking and getting as many ideas down as possible.) Then clean it up so it's more formal. And you'll end up with a first-rate essay.

Good luck!!!

(For what it's worth, this message I wrote is about half way to a 500 word essay. 500 words isn't a lot. You can do it!)

"Earth is the cradle of mankind, but one cannot live in the cradle forever." --Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, 1905

Tsiolkovsky summed it up pretty well. He was probably the first rocket scientist and space exploration pioneer, and lived in Russia at the turn of the last century.

After reading about Tsiolkovsky and Robert Goddard, look up the books "The High Frontier" by Gerard K. O'Neill and "Mining the Sky" by John S. Lewis. After browsing these works, you should have plenty of material for a 500 word essay!

You might consider how O'Neill and Lewis' ideas relate to the energy crisis and global warming.

Answer 4

Well, this won't help much for NASA camp, but one of the more important upcoming aspects of space exploration will be economics. Many companies are bringing space exploration (and tourism) into the commercial arena, providing space visits, flights and building company spaceports.
