Space exploration is one of the most dangerous careers in the world. As an astronaut, you are more a dangerous gambler than anyone else, and what you stake is your life. undecided

Outbound is a controlled flight and less risky than inbound which is not reasonably controlled.

Imagine being a crew member of a compartment falling from sky due to gravity and your only safety is landing in a deep water body. angry

Assuming there is some little mistake in the calculation and you eventually land on the shore. Even the pieces of the shredded compartment will be as tiny as pebbles. God forbid, I no dey do. angry

Fact that you are coming back to mother earth with abundant life gives joy and hope, to me its less risky than flying to space with no atom of life. You can imagine when you are on board plane.. Taking off and landing which of them is sweeter though both are controlled.

Bros stop lying to these people here na.
How can your only safety be in landing in a deep water body?
At 8.5 km above ground level, the capsule’s huge parachutes start to open. You feel gravity dragging on your body as you land into a water body.
The main purpose of the water body is to help elasticate your landing momentum in other to prevent any conversion of energy that may be detrimental to the safety of the crew.
The huge parachutes most of the time offer perfect velocity for a hitch-free landing.

Sincerely, I'm tempted to think space exploration is an overhyped bag of sh*t. NASA will share some watercolour artwork and say it's a picture of some galaxy million years away taken by the Hubble telescope. And all sorts of crap.

In fact, many say the so-called first landing on the moon was only meant to distract the masses during the civil wars.

However, we should remember that the essence of research isn't only to find solutions to existing problem. Rather it includes filling gaps in human knowledge even without an apparent benefit from such knowledge (at least presently).

Infact, this is the primary reason for research; to improve our knowledge of the world we live. This is why I'm surprised when I see people insulting our profs for doing research on abstract topics.

Hey, academic research isn't meant to directly solve societal problems. It's meant to only explore, discover and explain new things or old things in a different way.

It's the duty of the industry to solve societal problems.

Academia is one thing, industry is another.

I'm not saying our academia is doing well, but this isn't one of the wrong things about our professors and researchers.

Now back to the topic.

I don't think mere curiosity is enough reason for a country like USA to spend billions of dollars on projects. I believe there's more to it than they're telling the world. But then, it's their money and country.
People like you are the reason why Africa is like this. Never for once used their brain.
U have seen planes, cars, smart phones, satellites and do much more but continue languishing in a retarded lane. How could someone chose to be just hopeless and useless?

Man has not gone anywhere.

Coronavirus shuts everyone down for months and there are other 50 viruses more deadlier than Coronavirus.....

Sickle cell anemia, cancer of all forms diabetes and the likes are still killing people...there are millions of things we still don't know....

DEATH. Science is completely useless as far as death is concerned....Every soul shall die..... I guess you think that after death consciousness cease... Well, you will find out afterwards.

Science is the knowledge of the physical laws that God put in place to keep this natural world going by itself...

These laws gives the universe self-sustaining abilities....

God will still be God.... Science will never take the place of God.

Do you know that a simple change in the nature of air will render a lot of inventions useless?

Give glory to God.

The universe is too complicated to exist by itself...order and timing are things that tell you that someone made this universe....

Give glory to God.
That we cannot solve a problem or explain a phenomena doesn't mean we should attribute it to 'god'. Diseases were once seen as punishment from God, but now we know it's either defective genes, bacteria, viruses or fungi. We once thought the earth was flat with edges, now we know planetry bodies are usually round or similarly shaped. God as an explanation is only useful where we're yet to fully understand something, hence it's nothing but intellectual laziness to attribute anything at all to God.

Yes, it's more humble to admit we don't know or understand something yet than to blindly attribute it to 'god'

Go after knowledge if you like, you will never be satisfied. The Lord said knowledge will increase. Much toiling and a life spent chasing carnal and vain things only profit little. Man born of a woman is of a few days. A word is enough for the wise.
When you read about space exploration and possibility of Billions of planets that support life like our earth, you'd start to question your religious beliefs.
Problem is you'd rather remain ignorant that seek the truth.

You aren't very educated sadly. The bible doesn't teach a flat earth theory. In fact it talks of the circle of the earth somewhere in Job.
Whats more? Almost every other observable big and stable masses in the universe are sphere; from the stars (sun inclusive) to the planets and their moons/satellites. So you should logically expect the earth which is also a planet to be sphere. There are other simple ways that we where taught in secondary school that we can use to proof that the is spherical.
Devil has an agenda truly. But be careful of confusing everything and making the bible look stupid rather than affirming its integrity and credibility.

If as a Christian your religious understanding is making mockeey science it means your under a serious delusion.
This was the same thinking your fore father of Catholic denomination were busy burning scientist at the stake because they felt it was going against a book (The bible)written by men not entirely inspired by God.

How do you expect people to pump so much money intonsuch project to deceive people as you speak?

As shallow as your understanding is,you don't know the satellites that are above the earth surface are majorly responsible for our communication and even the rubbish you posted yet it is evil.

Death?

People still die in their numbers as a result of those sicknesses.

That is my point.

Well, science has no cure for death,.that makes even a simple headache a death sentence.
Science never claim to have the cure for death, neither does Christianity. Just yesterday a lady made of fool of herself and Christianity by trying to raise a death man, the trend is even on nairaland, she failed woefully.

Death is purely natural, what science can do is to improve life span.

I know 'eternal life' even in d physical body (till rapture time) may sound far fetched, even blasphemous, but that was what Jesus Christ said himself in john 6:26 with his own mouth.
You've only appropriated the blessing in d previous verse - due to d level of ur faith/belief just like Martha did in verse 24 because of her faith level too.

You need nod die first b4 translation to eternal life, you can have DT eternal life right from ur physical body till Jesus returns to raise the saints up.

America spends a about 0.5% of its budget which is about $20.7 billion on space exploration and in turn it create jobs since most of the work is done on Earth. It is also seen as a new industry.

Defense is also factor, they're trying to predict the movement of asteroids and study planetary alignments for education.

Space travel is seen as the next big thing, the idea to colonize Mars and be a multi planetary specie, these were the same ideas that inspired Elon Musk. A lot of "experts" think we're on a ticking time bomb due to climate change and the environment.

America's ego, since the "Moon landing" and the Cold War. America's has been viewed as the top nation in terms of new age tech even though the Russians and East Asians aren't far behind or could even be better. The government would like the public to think they're still the best and that includes furthering the work of NASA.
