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.
