The Cost And Dangers Of Space Exploration: Is It Worth The Risk?

Space exploration has been considered by some as a form of escaping from the gravity of the Earth that needs a significant deal of work and large amount. As compared to the surface of the sea, space is certainly more hostile to the human life. While the boats were the most advanced technolog back then, the space voyagers planned carefully the dangerous and expensive trips, which a lot of them have died while trying to figure out what lies beneath the horizon.
Yet despite the risks, space exploration continues as technology improves over the years, from the small materials of convenience up to the discoveries that are enough to feed a multitude of hungry people or prevent accidents or even save the lives of the injured or the sick.
For some people, it is more practical to work together behind a program that will not involve the possibility of anyone dying. One that would only involve a better understanding of humans' home planet, including the ways on how to survive on it as well as finding out the things that are important in continuing to survive, according to Science Mash.
However, space exploration that could go further into the solar system may indeed be a good plan, that is, if humanity would be fortunate to survive 5.5 billion years more and if the sun will expand enough to kill harm the Earth.
These are just among the many reasons why space exploration has become necessary as humanity finds ways or alternatives, building space stations and civilizations on Mars, bases on the Moon as well as the habitats on Jupiter moon. And if technology could manage to bring success in these, then there is a likelihood of going beyond the sun in the future.
Space exploration may be considered too dangerous and huge enough to become a possible project, but these have never prevented humans from trying some luck out there, Wired reported.
