ASTRON 2B03 : Journal #2 - Astronomy.doc
Document Summary
The question of whether the government should increase spending for space exploration and if it should be a topic of prominence arose in an astronomy lecture and had me contemplating back and forth about my view. There are negative aspects that come from focusing and spending too much money on discovering space, but contrarily there are also many benefits with the potential of drastically changing life on earth and the human way of living. In this journal i am going to outline what i believe can come out of space exploration as well as the disadvantages of the issue to hopefully come to a concluding standpoint at the end. There has been much concern about saving resources on earth such as fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) and even water, which makes the need for discoveries that much more important.
