Space exploration should be banned

Thanks for your response and pointing my weakness in presentation. I'l do my best in further rounds. I will start by opposing Pro's statements.Rebuttals 1. Since there are other pressing needs which needs to be solved other than this Space Exploration which endangers life, then it should be banned.Please specify while you are saying other pressing needs and yes I do agree there are many issues and problems all over the world that needs to be get solved but if one problem is solved another arises and it is never ending process so we cannot just ban Space Exploration for that and regarding endanger of lives, there are over 6 billon people on Earth and very few countable Astronauts risk there life in Space Exploration.2. I accept with psychological calmness that astronomers do go for physical training and various test before embarking in on any journey to the space but I beg to disagree that the various test they do engage in protects them.Physical training and other various test gives Astronauts the knowledge about Space and fitness required in carrying out Space missions. It is required to prepare themselves the special conditions and environments astronauts will be confronted with during launch, in space, and during landing. All phases of the flight must be taken into account during training to ensure safety to, and functionality of the astronauts, as well as to ensure a successful completion of the mission.Yes it doesn't protect them but it is required to prepare themselves for Space missions.3. NASA has proven that over 50astronauts have died in cause of exploring the space and even the first man on space Gagarin equally died,my question then is this, this people that died, didn't they go for physical training and various test as you rightly put it in your first outing?50 Astronauts have died in cause of exploring space, Agreed. But Yuri Gagarin's death is not because of Space Exploration but due to crash of training flight.Ofcourse these Astornauts went for training but due to some unfortunate reasons like fault in space ship, fuel loss, technical defaults and may be many other reasons. Some failures cannot stop us from Space Exploration.Other than that everyday there is loss of life due to Plane crash, train accidents, bus accidents, car accidents and by many other means but this doesn't mean people should ban Air travel, Bus, Cars etc. Life would be too slow and will be unable to carry on if we ban all of these and travel by walk.4. You equally said when presenting your argument that space exploration brings about vast knowledge and we can know about our own planet and outer space but the question again is this, what knowledge? Is it to know if there is life there? It has been proven that the only thing there is dead amoeba and it is even because of this space exploration that we are facing some dangers like this falling stones.I'l answer this in my contentions.5. please don't misunderstand me or justerpose the motion, you said is from space exploration brought about satellites, phones, television but then, is it from space exploration or the knowledge of scientist? Knowledge of Scientists and Space Exploration are interconnected. Number of Scientists spend their knowledge building Artificial Satellites. But all their knowledge goes for nothing if these Artifical satellites are not sent for space orbitting earth. 6. This space exploration if we do not know, is bad because almost every country want to go to the space why if I may ask? The answer is not far fetched because the punch newspaper on 15th may has proven that most of the countries that explore the space do it for their military strenght and not for the good of the people..take for instance, the nuclear weapon which was released in the second world war and killed almost a country was gotten from the knowledge from space exploration.1.Expanding Military strength is a part of Space Exploration but doen't mean it's wrong or bad because it may be used for hideouts of terrorists, gaining information of other harsh climates, protecting people from natural disasters and many more.2.Nuclear weapon which was released in WWII is totally different topic. The Knowledge of Nuclear is obtained by Nuclear Science not by Space Exploration and testing Nuclear in outer Space is banned.7. so ladies and gentlemen, should we explore the space and endanger our lives?As stated earlier few Astronauts who risk their life for Space Exploration doen't endanger Human lives.8.Should we explore the space so that if in future we have any problem we would be killed in just a seconds?How may I ask. Space Exploration is carried out for Scientific purposes and also in benefitting earth by the uses of Artificial Satellites.9. Indeed this space exploration is a man slaying refrectory and should be banned for good.No it is not and Space Exploration shouldn't be banned. I'l explain in my contentionsContentionsSpace Exploration has many uses 1. Perspective As our telescopes probe the depths of space and time and our spacecraft missions reveal the scale and diversity of worlds even within our own solar system, we are provided with a humbling sense of our place in the universe. 2. Protecting and Understanding our World NASA's Earth Scientific division helps us understand the fantastically complex world that we live on. Studying other worlds like Venus and Mars teaches us how special our planet is, and provides sobering examples of how the Climates of Planets change. NASA-funded research scan the skies for dangerous asteroids, and missions and asteroids teach us how we might be able to divert them from a collision course, should the need arise. 3. Inspiration The Apollo missions inspired an entire generation of students to pursue math and science careers. As our society becomes more technology-dependent, the populace needs to become scientifically literate to keep up. Telling students that “You could be the first astronaut on Mars!” or “You could be the one driving the next Mars rovers!” is a pretty effective way of inspiring them to study science and math. 4. The Economy NASA does not launch buckets of cash into space. The majority of the money spent on space exploration goes toward the salaries of thousands of skilled American workers who make NASA’s missions so successful. For more on this, and its connection to the recent Mars rover budget scare. 5. Exploration To be human is to be an explorer. It is part of who we are: since the first tribes left the African savanna and spread into Europe and Asia, we have had the need to explore the unknown. Now humans have visited or settled every corner of the globe. The instinct to explore is still active, but there are very few outlets. Some people seek out extreme or exotic places to satisfy this need, risking their life to do so. Others look to the skies. It may be an old cliche, but Star trek had it right:Space is the final frontier, and it calls to the explorer in all of us. 6. New Technology Space exploration brings together a lot of smart people from many different fields and puts them to work on some very difficult problems. The result is not only fantastic scientific discoveries, but also many useful inventions. From healthier baby food to technology to better diagnose breast cancer, to farther flying golf balls, NASA technology is all around you. 7. Answering The Big Questions How did life begin? How did Universe begin? How was our world created? Are we alone? These questions and others have been asked by every generation since the dawn of time. That we can even ask them is a testament to the power of the human brain. Now, because we are smart enough and bold enough to explore the universe, we are finding the answers. In the words of Carl Sagan, “We are starstuff contemplating the stars.” 8. International Collaboration Large space exploration projects are almost always the result of international cooperation. The Inernational Space Station is the most obvious example, but the space shuttle regularly has astronauts from other nations, and many robotic missions include instruments built by teams in other countries. As NASA gears up to return to the moon, precursor missions from Japan, India, China and Russia are already in orbit, are planned, or are under construction. Future human Mars missions will almost certainly involve multiple space agencies to spread the cost among several nations. 9. Long-term Survival As it stands, all of humanity’s eggs are in one small basket called “Earth”. It is only a matter of time before something happens to our planet that is so devastating that it changes the course of life as we know it. Whether the disaster is natural, like a rogue commet, or self-inflicted, like nuclear war, it is possible that our home will no longer be habitable. What happens, then, to all of the accomplishments of the last thousand generations of humans? All of our art, our music, our literature, our science, even our very genes could be wiped out. Unless, of course, there are a few humans living elsewhere in the solar system. Space exploration and colonization of the Moon,Mars or any other planets or Satellite suitable for Humans in our Galaxy or in any other part of the univers are an insurance policy for humanity and all of our achievements.
