Why explore space?:
Because it's there. Because it's unknown. Because no other frontier has
the potential to teach us so much and inspire so many. Random: Year and major:
senior, psych Why explore space?:
Space is
our final frontier that we have not truly explored. We have charted all
of the earth yet we have know idea what really exists beyond our small
solar system. We don't really even know what our own solar system is
and was in the past. There is such vastness that we have ignored for so
long, now is the time to explore this. Who knows who or what is waiting
out there for us to find it. Random: "If a man does not keep pace
with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different
drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or
far away." former
Special
Events chair Why explore space?:
Well, we have find somewhere to go before life on Earth becomes
impossible because of a catastrophic event. We might as well start
looking now. Look how far travel has advanced in only the past 100
years. We went from a flight of just 12 seconds to the moon within 70
years. That only happened because of dedication and innovation though,
and we have to keep that up for the human race to travel past our tiny
neighborhood around the Sun. Random: "My goal is simple. It is
complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it
exists at all." |
