How does space exploration benefit mankind?

Question

I want websites, or your logical answers please. I have a English assighnment about it...

Answer 1

Space exploration gives life on Earth a Plan-B in case of a global emergency, for instance say a Global Pandemic broke out and was killing billions of human and perhaps the whole human race could go extinct, by having a space ship ready or a base on the Moon mankind could escape that natural disaster and wait out the effects in space and return to Earth when all threat of extinction has ended, but this isn't the only reason mankind should explore space within the next 100 years i'm curtain mankind will exhaust this planets natural resources, the Moon is a great source of Helium3 that can be used as a fissionable source of energy.

Answer 2

The answers given already are pretty good, but I think the greatest potential benefit to mankind has not even been mentioned.

The easiest way to understand the greatest benefit is to look backwards into history and ask a similar question:

"How did sea exploration benefit mankind?"

We are very rapidly overpopulating this planet. There are over 6.5 billion human beings living on this planet. That is double the number we had in 1960. What happens in another fifty years if it doubles again? And again?

At first we're going to rely on better technology to stack our apartment buildings higher and/or underground dwellings lower. With enough time and great enough populations, cities will become one large indoor complex like a mall/school/apartment building/office building rolled into one.

But no matter how many concessions and advances we make, eventually, we will run out of space. And long before that, we will feel very, very crowded.

Exploring space gives us hope that eventually we will happen upon one very important discovery for the future of humanity: another planet capable of supporting human life. This is ultimately the same thing that sea explorers were looking for when they set sail to uncharted waters: MORE LAND.

And even if we don't find such a planet, learning about space will eventually enable us to create communities that can survive in hostile environments anyway, such as underwater, in orbit, or on the surface of a planet wholly unlike earth (Mars, the Moon, etc.)

In addition to this very important foresight into the plight of crowded humanity, space exploration may benefit mankind in more subtle ways in the realm of knowledge. By learning about the universe, we may learn where it came from, why it exists, and what this thing we call "life" is and why IT exists either.

Answer 3

I would think that the accumulation of more knowledge would be considered a benefit. Maybe you can even BS a little, saying that knowledge is power. Perhaps learning about other planets would help us take better care of ours. Here's something you could say: At the rate that we are polluting our planet, we will need a new one to live on. Thus mankind would very much benefit by exploring for new space. If all else fails, I guess you could say that we might be able to finally see uranus!

Answer 4

There are several types of benefits. Not only do we increase our knowledge about how the universe and the Earth work, but we gain from the technology developed to explore the universe. Even minor things we use every day came from the space program, such as freeze dried foods and velcro. By finding out what the chemical makeup is of different planets, we may be able to colonize them someday ourselves, in case something terrible happens to the Earth. And most importantly, we may be able to find other civilizations out there which can give us knowledge and technology beyond our wildest imaginations.

Answer 5

There are direct benefits and indirect benefits.

The direct benefits are the scientific understandings that come from exploring our universe. We learned a lot about the universe by going to the moon, by setting up the space station, and installing the Hubble telescope.

In order to accomplish these objectives, scientists had to come up with lots of technical solutions that had indirect benefits in the "real" world. The microwave, tin foil, Tang, propulsion systems, insulation, ........

Answer 6

climate satellites. Communications satellites GPS structures also, drugs like interferon to wrestle maximum cancers. Oops -- we do not have that because it must be synthetic in area and the Conservatives killed that application, so we merely enable human beings die. great scale manufacture of aerogels that rimprove the performance adn educe the fee of electronics, such as medical technologies. Oh, pricey-- that must be synthetic is area. inspite of the indisputable fact that the courses to strt 0-g production were all killed by the cons. . . final analysis: there have been a good number of discoveries that could want to benefit mankind right now by area. we are not getting those reward as a results of lack of expertise adn shortsighted greed.

Answer 7

We have developed Teflon and Kevlar as a direct result of space research, also it is the next frontier in human development.
Before 1492 Europe was isolated from the world, by expoloring the Oceans we have opened the world and humanity to development. Space is the next step in that development.

Answer 8

dont u know that after a period of time sun is going to engulf the first 2 planets and going to gift the earth a temp of 450 and mankkind a fullstop and sinctists are searching a new type of turn for man kind of corse in space .....to give your coming genaration a new life this is one of the reasons and their are many more

Answer 9

we need to explored the space that surround us to
detected any meteor or rock that could impact into
earth in the future that can kill us
what we know can help us to survival with more chance
