Should we halt the space program because of it's risks or should we continue it regardless of the risks?
(Just trying to get some current event debates going on)

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
There is always risk in anything you do. I think we should continue.
Well, if stopped and did nothing the risks would still be there and it wouldn't get any safer. By continuing the space program it will gradually become safer.
Besides so much good comes out of the Space Program so continue.
with great risks come great rewards just an everday example would be braces that due to the space program were invinted
(forgot this before) even though its not worth the risk of human life for all the well off kids to have straight teeth i find its other benifits to outweigh any negatives
I find that it has no true benefits. Billions of dollars are poured into the program to invent things like Teflon and Braces? No. Not quite.
It's not even about Science anymore. Now our well-trained Astronauts play tour guide to wealthy elite as they cater to them in Space.
The risks are too high.
The cost is not justified.
End it.
Lets find a cure for cancer, HIV, and stupidity on earth please.

Matt, consider the other results of the space program that have ended up helping with the world's hunger problem. I'll look up and post details later, but I know part of the food they delievr was derived from the space program.
However, it is true that billions of dollars are spent on the program that could be spent else where that could do more good. You are correct in that. I personaly believe, however, that the space program will end up inventing something that will change the world for the better.
this is a bit out there just warning you
also a use probaly hundereds of years from now is the colonization of other planets. Earth isn't getting any bigger and once the population cap is reeched we'll deplete our renewable aand unrenewable resources. In turn causing world hunger the melting of the ice caps. essentially the earth will eventually burn out because of the rate that we consume its resources. so any alternative even if it is "expensive" and "risky" is well founded.
We don't want another hydrogen car situation were if research had started back in the 1950's (somewhere in there) when the technology was first concieved today we would have working hydrogen cars, or atleast more fuel alternatives.
