Space Exploration

We definitely need to continue the exploration of space. Sure the moon is going to be a boring subject because there is simply no need to go back there. But with recent events, I believe NASA needs to get going on a new program and fast. The year 2012 is dawning on us faster than we may think. Some people I spoke with about it believe it would be a good idea. Others thought it was just nonsense. But do we really want to wait around before it is too late to find out? I would rather be safe than sorry. I think NASA needs to put together a large program to discover other worlds fit for human habitat. We have only begun to explore just a meager sliver of what we call the universe. If human life wants to continue as so I think now would be as good a time as any. Even if the research turns out to be wrong about the events that the year 2012 may have, we must look at it in the long run as well.

Earth is not destined to last forever. Just like any other planet, it's days will one day end and no longer support life. Our sun that has encouraged life on earth for so long is also reaching its final stages. Granted the sun has a very very large life span. We will never see the end of days in our lifetime or not even our great grandchildren's lifetime. But we still should encourage the thought that one day the human race will not be able to live on this planet any longer. Space exploration in my opinion is the key to the continuation of human life.
