Is it necessary to explore the outer space?


Human beings had always possessed an innate gift to be curious, to know about himself, the planet he lives and the unfathomable heavenly bodies. He long gazed into the sky, to search and uncover the meaning of the universe hidden deep inside. His conscious mind gets activated to understand deeper about the dynamics of outer space. Humans intangible desire to explore the outer space had been passed on to the generations.

Their initial interest began with recognizing patterns in the sky, the movement of the constellations used as a reference by early humans to track eclipses, to measure seasons as well as for navigation across the mighty seas and oceans. Early humans even recorded the motion of the planets. The main heavenly bodies, the Sun and the Moon are related to the recordings to track the time and the calendar on the Earth. Stonehenge is the best example of the knowledge of the sky during prehistoric times which is aligned with the rising and setting of the Sun. With the advent of modern astronomy, the theoretical and observational astronomies are blended to collate different information and to create specific simulations for a better understanding of the outer space.

 Now the question can arise “What is the benefit of exploring the outer space at a deeper level?”
1.           Scientific research had proved that a collision with a huge asteroid had caused the complete extinction of Dinosaurs from Earth. Still, Earth is under threat posed by millions of space materials. An exploration of outer space helps us to eradicate these hazards in advance.

2.           An exploration of the outer space helps to solve various critical problems down on Earth, which in turn helps to make our lives better.

3.           Vast exploration of the outer space helps us to accept that our Earth is just a Pale Blue Dot suspended in a sunbeam. This deep understanding can wipe away our self-importance and privileged position as mere delusions.

4.        Availability of raw materials is getting extinct from our Earth due to its overuse. Outer            space allowed us to find new raw material deposits

Our scientists have enhanced the explorative spirit of humans to the next level with the invention of Hubble Space Telescope. Anyone who possesses a telescope and a passion to embrace the space can discover the element of human existence. To become an outer space explorer there need not be starships, space stations, or intergalactic travel. The Human spirit will be always there to explore the final frontiers and it will continue forever.
