Space - Big Ideas and Debates
Since the beginning of time, the Universe and Space Exploration have intrigued, inspired, and even frightened people. Science Fiction novels and films often depict what life may be like in the future. Research and fiction have often fueled debates about space exploration and other related issues.
In this section, astronauts, mission control, parents, teachers and guests are invited to post their ideas about some of the issues or 'big ideas' people still continue to discuss and debate today in the area of space exploration and the Universe itself.
Listed below are some of the issues to be discussed although everyone is welcome to add their own. Those contributing are encouraged to think through their arguments and ideas before posting them. Please post a 'fat' answer. This means that you provide proof for your thoughts and explain why you think or believe something. Don't forget to read people's ideas and let the discussions begin!
Some issues/ questions to discuss:
Should humans dump their garbage in Space to help keep the Earth garbage free?
Do extra-terrestrials exist?
Should humans establish colonies on other planets?
Should we continue to send humans into Space?
Should we allow anyone from the general public go into Space provided they have enough money to pay their way?
A funeral home is offering the dead a sure way of getting closer to the heavens and are willing to dump some of their ashes into Space. The prices begin at $900. The more you pay, the farther in Space your body will be dumped. What do you think of this idea?
