Space Exploration

1. I would not volunteer. Space, the final frontier, is largely unknown to us, and I do not want to take chances that might jeopardize my life. Besides, I'm more suited to research and data than actual action. 2. People who volunteer will have to be very courageous and smart, having studied in NASA about how to run spaceships and how to research, gather data, and survive in space. They would also be seeking for fame, possibly, and to conquer the final frontier, and find out the secrets of the world. 3. They would be able to gather information. They will also gather what could be lands for a new colony. They might be able to talk to the little martian creatures, and exchange information among other things. 4. The rocket might blow up. There might be a problem with the gravitational pulling engine, and the rocket might be lost for history. The rocket could crash while landing on mars. Martians might not be the welcoming crew, but more like the keep out of my territory type. There might be germs in mars that might cause a fatal disease. Also, the rocket might crash on earth. Among a few other disasters that could happen. 5. The rocket would have to be faster, the space equipment should be upgraded so that people outside the helmet and can hear the speaker. Also, there should be a rosetta stone for communicating with aliens, also with the technology of the spaceship being able to survive extreme temperatures and being able to disinfect everything inside the spaceship without the liquid getting to the engines.

Discussion

1. To travel in space, I'd need a spaceship on top of everything else- the most advanced one at NASA will reach the Andromeda Galaxy in 120 years- I need some thing a lot faster. It would also be good to have a supercomputer, so that I can sense the gravitational pulls and calculate them- it will also be useful in maintenance of the spaceship's parts. I would need a map of the galaxies- what could be seen with the human eye, anyway. Also, it would be nice to have excess fuel so that I don't have to wander in space until I get to something (and that's going to be painfully slow). Some hard casing could do to prevent small asteroids from hitting the ship, also with a program that would allow the ship to self- steer out of difficult situations. I also need food.

2. There are black holes in space- I will have to make sure to map all of those. Also, the galaxy expands a bit by bit- I will have to program the supercomputer to take that into account. Also, we do not really know what lies out there- we could get (or invent) a sensor that would be able to detect the terrains and stuff. I'll also have to tell people that we would not be landing on a planet until we know it is completely safe to land, and that it wouldn't damage the spaceship a lot even if a few asteroids hit us.

3. I would ask the government of USA, which is in charge of NASA. Well, basically we can bring accurate information from outer space, find aliens if there are some and possibly capture a few for lab study, possibly find a planet suitable enough for humans to live when earth becomes too overcrowded and out of resources and whatnot, and possibly find a new source of fuel. It would also be great to find a civilization (possibly) more advanced than ours and learn a few things from them, and it would be good if we could negotiate a treaty with some kind of alien planet. Also, by this expedition, I will have the celestial bodies mapped, so that other researchers aren't in the dark.
