The Importance of Sending People to Space

Several generations of people have seen pictures of Neil Armstrong stepping onto the Moon in 1969. At 1 the time, the hundreds of millions who watched this historic event likely thought it marked the beginning
of a bold new kind of exploration. Perhaps they thought they would soon hear more messages from outer space. Maybe they envisioned that by the turn of the century someone would walk on the surface of Mars. Now, though, more than 40 years later, it’s robots—not astronauts—who are making most of the voyages beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Robotic space exploration does have some advantages. However, there are many reasons why we should make sending more people into space a priority.

-Beyond the Program-

The capabilities of the space probes and rovers we now use would have been the stuff of science fiction 2 just a few short decades ago. Like any other machines, though, they have one major weakness. They
can do only what they are programmed to do. They cannot make a distinction between unusual and expected observations. They cannot reason. They cannot think. A human scientist who identified a curious specimen on Mars would likely concentrate on finding out everything possible about it. The unthinking robot would probably treat it as just another sample.

-Efforts Yield Results-

One of the arguments in favor of using robots to explore space is that machines can go places humans cannot. This may be true, but let’s consider the other side. Maybe the reason astronauts are not able to go to these places yet is that we aren’t putting enough effort into figuring out how to meet their complex needs during prolonged space missions. Humans have proven time and again that they are able to solve problems that may have seemed impossible at first. There is no reason to assume that the challenge of sending people to Mars, Jupiter, or Neptune and getting them back home safely would be any different.

-Costs and Benefits-

Humans, as living things, have many needs that robots do not. Giving astronauts what they require to stay 4 healthy in space naturally makes these kinds of missions more expensive than ones that use robots. It’s vital to weigh these increased costs against the benefits. If sending one human crew to Venus could advance our knowledge of the universe as much as three robotic space missions could, even a much higher cost would be justified.
Keeping the Dream Alive It is said that the idea of traveling into space captures the imagination. For most, though, it’s not an image 5 of a small vehicle rolling across the surface of Mars that inspires awe and wonder. It’s the notion that—one day—people from Earth will explore distant worlds that are literally millions of miles away from our home planet.

What are some examples of imagery in the poem? ABANDONED FARMHOUSE


He was a big man, says the size of his shoes

on a pile of broken dishes by the house;

a tall man too, says the length of the bed

in an upstairs room; and a good, God-Fearing man,

says the bible with a broken back

on the floor below the window, dusty with sun;

but not a man for farming, say the fields

cluttered with boulders and the leaky barn.

A woman lived with him, say the bedroom wall

papered with lilacs and the kitchen shelves

covered with oilcloth, and they had a child,

says the sandbox made from a tractor tire.

Money was scarce, say the jars of plum preserves

and canned tomatoes sealed in the cellar hole,

and the winters cold, say the rags in the window frames.

It was lonely here, says the narrow gravel road.

Something went wrong, says the empty house

in the weed-choked yard. Stones in the fields

say he was not a farmer; the still-sealed jars

in the cellar say she left in a nervous haste.

And the child? Its toys are strewn in the yard

Like branches after a storm—

a rubber cow, a rusty tractor with a broken plow,

a doll in overalls. Something went wrong, they say.

WHOMEVER ANSWERS CORRECTLY GETS BRAINLIEST ANSWER
Africanized honey bees were created in Brazil in 1957. Scientists mixed local bees with African ones to create a bee that would make more honey. They ended up with something much different. The new bees evolved in unexpected ways. They multiplied and migrated north. These Africanized honeybees are now known as killer bees for several scary but legitimate reasons.

Killer bees are far more aggressive than their relatives. They have been known to attack in great numbers, even when there has been no direct threat on their hives. They have swarmed because of loud noises, dark clothing, bright jewelry, and even strong perfume. They will chase a person for more than a quarter of a mile and remain angered for up to 24 hours.

Killer bees are also dangerous because of their sting. While most bees take up to 30 seconds to attack, killer bees sting in just 3 seconds. Their venom is no stronger than a regular bee's, but when one killer bee stings, others follow. With up to 80,000 members in a colony, victims are quickly overwhelmed. So many stings in such a short time can cause allergic reactions. Victims enter a state of shock, lose blood pressure, and in many cases, die.

A final reason why "killer" has been added to their name is the unfortunate number of deaths they have caused. Experts estimate that the Africanized honeybee moves at a rate of about 200 miles each year. As the bees claim new territory, they claim new victims as well. More than 1000 people have been stung to death in South and Central America. There have been rising numbers of attacks in Mexico and a handful in the United States. Once a swarm sets sights on a victim, it is very difficult for the victim to escape. Once attacked, it is very difficult to survive.

Thankfully, there has been no killer bee invasion as some once predicted. Although there is no need for panic, the threat of the killer bee is real and should be taken seriously. It is good practice to call a professional to remove beehives in your area. If you are stung multiple times by any insect, you should always seek medical attention. You may not be expert enough to tell the difference between a killer bee and a less dangerous one, so be smart. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Which sentence from the conclusion paragraph best rephrases the author's thesis?
a)Thankfully, there has been no killer bee invasion as some once predicted.

b)Although there is no need for panic, the threat of the killer bee is real and should be taken seriously.

c)You may not be expert enough to tell the difference between a killer bee and a less dangerous one, so be smart.

d)It is better to be safe than sorry.

Josey wasn't the best pupil at Sunday school. She often fell asleep and one day while she was sleeping, the teacher asked her a question. "Who is the creator of the universe?" Joe was sitting next to Josey and decided to poke her with a pin to wake her up. Josey jumped and yelled, "God almighty!" The teacher congratulated her. A little later the teacher asked her another question, "Tell me who is our lord and savior?" Joe poked Josey again and she yelled out, "Jesus Christ!" The teacher congratulated her again. Later on the teacher asked, "What did Eve say to Adam after their 26th child?" Joe poked Josey again and she shouted, "If you stick that thing in me again, I'll snap it in half and stick it up your but!"

Read this excerpt from Dean Kamen's "On Becoming an Inventor."

I had just finished making a complicated piece of equipment that was to be used for a show opening in Philadelphia called "Fiorello." When the machine arrived they had trouble wiring it, so instead of going off to college that morning for orientation, I spent several days at the theatre fixing my light/sound equipment. The show received poor reviews, except for the mention by one reviewer of the "special effects," which, he wrote, were "outstanding."

How do writing shape readers' impressions?

Kamen's opinion seems to be that machines are more important than anything else. He supports this with an example of his work on a machine for a show in Philadelphia. His tone is formal and directed at a scholarly audience.

Kamen’s opinion seems to be that hard work can overcome any obstacles. He supports this with an example of hard work on a light machine. His tone is humorous and directed at a young audience.

Kamen’s opinion seems to be that his inventions are more important to him than other activities. He supports this by sharing an example of skipping college orientation to fix sound equipment. His tone is informal and directed at a general audience.

Kamen's opinion seems to be that special effects can make a show outstanding. He supports this with an example of his own special effects machine. His tone is formal and directed at a scientific audience.

Defundthepolice is this okay??

Read the paragraph.

Alisha is writing a research paper about the effects of driving cars on the environment. She found statistics about cars and air pollution from a group called Save the Planet on its website www.savetheplanet.org. In addition to the information about air pollution, Alisha also saw statements such as “Save the planet, ride a bike” and “Mother Nature wants you to carpool.”

Which statement is the best evaluation of the website’s credibility?

The website is definitely not credible because it is pushing an opinion and Alisha should not use any information from it.
The website might be credible even though it expresses an opinion, and Alisha should check other reliable sources to verify the information before deciding whether or not to use it.
The website is definitely credible because it states proven facts about pollution, and Alisha should not worry about using information from this source.
The website is probably not credible because it is a .org website and .org websites are not credible sources of information, so Alisha should not use any information from it.
