(Period 2) Gravitational Waves Detected, Confirming Einstein’s Theory


Discussion Question:


Do you think that it is worth it to invest millions of dollars into further exploration of the galaxy when there are so many other problems (i. e. climate change) that we should be focusing on?

  1. I think it is worth spending money on exploration of the galaxy. We have spent millions and even billions trying to research climate change, so it shouldn't be a big deal to spend some more money on exploring the galaxy. The galaxy is something that we have spent a long time researching, but I feel like we could do more.

  3. I think that exploring our galaxy is important, but I think we should prioritize more pressing issues first. Climate change is happening now and it can have perilous effects on our planet. For now, our galaxy isn't that threatening to us. Overall, we should prioritize our own planet and after we can invest our money in space exploration.

  4. I agree with Christina that we shouldn't spend so much money on exploring the universe because space is not currently threatening us, but problems like climate change are. While space exploration is new and exciting, we should try to spend our money on things like climate change that are impacting our lives negatively and are damaging the earth for future generations.

  6. Exploring the galaxy is definitely an intriguing thing to do as a lot of people are curious about the unknown. In the past, much of our advancement in technology has come from developments in the space program, and have improved many aspects of our life. However, after a certain point, we need to focus more on our own planet. We have already learned a lot about space, and we should prioritize our our well-being on Earth (which is a necessity), rather than exploring for fun.
