Click here to email YOUR reason! Space is
where
humanity will fulfill its potential and flower, for that is where our real future will be lived.
Survival -
and not just in a few billion years when the sun becomes a red giant. Our environment, technology,
agriculture, economy are increasingly becoing less diverse and prone to single point failure.
September 11, 2001 has shown us that's a bad thing.
Survival, adventure, discovery, knowledge, search for other worlds and
extraterrestrial life.
One planet is not enough.
To enjoy the ride! And the view
of Mother Earth. To learn about the effects of weightlessness on the human body.
To establish a colony on another world to increase the chance
of survival of our species (impacts!).
Because
it's there. We owe it to Galileo, Copernicus, etc.
To colonize, solve diseases, meet and communicate with alien life forms and save our Earth and human race.
Precision manufacturing (material and biochemical); to study our planet, our solar system, our glaxy and beyond; to develop alliances with extraterrestrials.
Because it is simply part of our destiny and responsibility as conscious creative beings to explore as much of the universe as possible.
Further exploration of space is the destiny of humanity! - to experience
new things for positive change - enriching our lives and advancing our
civilization. Without doubt, the future needs us to act now. Let space
exploration be an example of our genius, our will to be better than what
we are and an artistic statement of our desire to unveil Maya and utopia
- to create a reality out of what our minds have already imagined.
We need to get into space in order to relieve
this biosphere and to be forced into *creating* new biospheres. It is time
that we allowed terra to heal--and time that we learned how to clean up
after ourselves...in our own biospheres.
Human survival - if the human race stays on Terra,
it will deplete all natural resources eventually. To meet other life
forms and see whether they have cultural lives similar to ourselves here
on Earth. To find out what happens if there's no gravity and no planets
nearby. Was Einstein correct in his theories? To see if our
homo sapiens species has developed independently on another planet.
Is it possible?
Exploitation of resources.
Great Art has been inspired by the brilliance
and beauty of our world. Imagine what human statement would consist ofgiven the endless possibilities that a new experience like space travel
would offer! The universe could contribute to an unfathomable artistic
movement!
I think the only way to learn more about the development
of life in the universe is to find more examples, such as what may exist
on Mars.
Because it's in our nature to explore. Ifwe remain still we will surely die from atrophy.
Because it's always been in our nature to explore
the unknown.
We should go into space to justify the deaths
of all the astronauts (including those on the Challenger mission) and Cosmonauts.
Otherwise some might say they have died in vain.
For human survival.
To develop technology that will help us to survive
on Earth in the future.
Our kids want to be known as the "Space Generation!"
Humanity must expand into space or else we risk
the wrath of our future generations.
Maybe we will be able to manufacture our drugs,
medicines, etc. in a gravity-free environment and save a lot of money and
fuel (energy).
We have an obligation, if not a need, to explore
space. As more planets are discovered outside our tiny little corner of
the Universe, it is imperative, not just for science, but for humanity,
to develop the skills, technology, and most importantly the collective
will, to reach out to these distant worlds. To reach this goal, we must
further explore and colonize our own Solar System. To turn away from this
path, this destiny, is to turn our back on the future. A self-chosen dark
ages of exploration will begin. I think Kennedy said it best. "...not because
it is easy, but because it is hard."
Personally, we should endeavor to explore the
Heavens! It is in our nature, it is our destiny ! What we learn...our
children learn. Money should not be a factor...Strength...Courage...Determination...and
the will to move on will be the traits that will be carried on to the next
generation. Why should we go...you may ask. The answer is simple.
We need to know, we need to grow and we need to expand our knowledge.
There will be great risk but without it...how can we grow as a civilization?
There are some who invite the risk for the rewards are bountiful !
We must go !
Do it for our children, its in their best interestto know as much as they can about the universe around them. Space exploration
holds knowledge that opens doors for the many. The sooner we make
a commitment, and meet the challenge of furthering humankind in space,
the more quickly the benefits from this knowledge will be reaped by all.
Do it for science, do it for humanity, do it for yourself, but remember
that the act of doing it will forever change mankind. To do something
that has never been done before beckons the human spirit. There are
untold ways in which the inspiring acts of future spacefarers will affect
us.
The present is borrowed from future generations.
It is our moral obligation to develop our capacities, and the resources
both of the Earth and our Solar System, to ensure that our children, and
children's children, can enjoy far greater prosperity than we now know.
Otherwise, we condemn them to a future without hope.
We should go to Mars to help unite the planet
as one. That was one of the reasons to go to the moon.
Space is the most logical next step in human evolution.
Environments never stay the same and you never know when our reality will
stop existing the way we know it.
Humans should explore and settle space for untapped
natural resources as well as for the economic and future growth of earth-based
businesses. Space is a new business in a new economy for the new millennium.
Space Exploration shouldn’t just be for the few.
It should be for everyone!
Because we can. No, really: we have this amazing
gift, the gift of our minds. We know that the stars are real, every one
of them as real and potentially life-giving as our own sun. How can we
know this and not go?
Humans to Mars is no longer a dream IT is a destination!!
It is essential for the future of humanity!!!
Humans have been creatures of exploration since
time immemorial.
To launch ourselves in space is a way "To Sail
Beyond the Sunset", as poet Tennyson wrote; it is a way of extending our
life force into the cosmos, a way of achieving immortality.
To put it simply, humans tend to expand.
There isn't much land left ot expand into, save the occasional ocean and
rainforrest, so there's really little...uh...space.
It's hard to tell what all this [Sept 11, 2001 Attack on America] will
do to our dreams. A mission to Mars is still a great thing to do
but would take some explaining in the current context. And yet it's
the type of thing that demonstrates our resolve and the ideas to which
we aspire.
I had some big impressions about how war ruins peoples lives, and in
this case how the attack [Sept 11, 2001] made all my projects seem so unimportant.
I realize now that is what the terrorists want. So I know it is really
important to keep focused as much as possible, to keep the vision [of human
space exploration] alive.
If divine revelation has an enemy, it's we who advocate the need for
verifiable data. If those who would recreate the cultures of millennia
past have an enemy, it's those of us building the cultures of the new millenium.
If isolationism has an enemy it's those of us who would join together in
spreading through the solar system. If despair has an enemy, it is
the wonder we feel beneath the night sky, and our hope for reaching out
to new worlds there.
It is a constructive project for unified world in post-war world.
To explore and learn.
Through research, finding out about ourselves.
So people will realize that they live on the same planet.
To end the image of "Limits To Growth". To have an abundant future
rather than "Blade Runner".
To search for signs of life.
Fun Fun fun!
To acquire knowledge to benefit humankind and to evolve a solar civilization
of mind nested in peace and cooperation.
For our Future life.
To build Island One and make money. It's a different challenge.
Just for fun.
To explore.
Understanding and exploration.
It's the biggest real estate in history!
Survival and hope!
For expansion of our resource base for economic exploitation.
Romance!
Because it's there.
To increase the variety of human cultures and experiences.
It's the logical next step for human exploration.
For Atmospheric modification of planets that can be modified.
We need one great common goal for all peoples to take our attention away from our present small differences!
People tell me I take up a lot of space, so I figure I need more.
The possibility of exploration of other planets.
Financial gain.
To explore new worlds, and possibly find alien life forms.
A new frontier.
We need one great common goal
For new resources.
Because of overkill of Earth's resources.
To expand our horizons, to meet new creatures and spread the love!
To find really cool stuff and sell iton Ebay!
To find a place to colonize.
Because people can be friendly and united.
To see how far it really goes!!
