Why are we still sending people into space????????

Answer 1

because the space is still there.

its like asking why do people climb mountains; because they are there.

Answer 2

When you see a place like Disneyland on TV, why go there? To experience the place right? It is the same for going to space. It is just not enough that we can see distant bodies with telescopes, we must also be able to see and feel them (not always literally of course) first hand.
It could also prove advantageous to research and the future of the human race. Everyone knows of the population problem, the problem with too little resources, etc. By sending people to space and expanding the limits of space travel, we can hope to one day find a habitable planet and be able to send humans there to live. After all, Earth can't be the only planet capable of supporting life in the universe! By continually sending people to space, we can find more about how a human body would react to space travel and we can be closer to the machines which can relay information to us. We can also conduct experiments first hand, without having to relay instructions from Earth to robots which may mess things up. The International Space Station, which is orbiting around the world, will be manned and manually maintained. For this also, we will have to send people to space. We will be frequently sending people into space pretty soon with so many orbiting projects coming up, so do not expect the tide of astronauts going beyond the atmosphere to stop anytime soon!

Answer 3

There are several processes at work that result in sending people into space.
1. Some science experiments can not be done in a high gravity environment. We depend on an expanding scientific understanding to improve our life on Earth.
2. The resources of the Earth are limited. There are many resources in space but we are not able to get to them. We have to develop space travel in order to be able to use the resources that we know are out there.
3. Modern economies depend on a healthy Research and Development component. That means that not only do we need a lot of scientists and researchers to graduate from universities, but those people must be able to get jobs. It does them no good to build another 5,000 schools or another 10,000 miles of freeways. They need jobs that use their knowledge and training. The higher the science involved, the more expensive it is. Today, only multinational corporations and strong governments are able to afford huge research budgets. But the benefits of advanced science are necessary for human survival and progress. Sending people into space is just the tip of the pyramid. Supporting the space exploration are tens of thousands of scientists and researchers who hope to increase our knowledge and success, and thousands of corporations who hope to discover profitable processes and materials.
4. Politics is a dynamic and flexible social institution. No political leader can afford to turn away from the very visual and exciting aspects of space exploration. All over the Earth, leaders must weigh the costs of doing advanced scientific research against the costs of not doing advanced scientific research. As long as the political process is flexible, many avenues or research will be followed in the hopes of advancing both national and personal prestige.

;-D The world has a tiger by the tail, and can't let go. Only by increasing our scientific knowledge can we overcome poverty, aids, resource depletion, water and air pollution, health and aging problems, and over population.

Answer 4

A. People like to idea of being weightless. Infact there are people working on a space hotel. Many millionars think that sex in space would be something fun to try.

B. Low gravity environments cannot be reproduced here. The type of vaccuum achieved in space cannot be reproduced easily on earth. Lots of chemistry can only be done in space.

C. Robots are harder to build and operate. It's easier to tell a person what to do.

D. Humans like to explore. Lets go to mars.

Answer 5

So we could know more about space. We don't know everything. I mean just recently we found out that mars may have had running water or at least some sort of flowing liquid.

Answer 6

SO THAT WE CAN LEARN MORE THING ABOUT SPACE , TO DO SOME RESEARCH

Answer 7

to be short,
It is due to curosity, the knack of knowing something new. It's in our instincts.
