 * Age of Exploration discussion**

//1. The invention of maritime technologies that allowed sailors to master treacherous and unfamiliar ocean environments is what really allowed for the Age of Exploration to occur. If you wanted to extend the Age of Exploration into outer space, what new space technology would need to be invented so that human beings could travel to other planets and solar systems?// - In order to extend the Age of Exploration into outer space, I think people should be comfortable with space just as on sea or land. To become comfortable, there must be enough oxygen to breathe, plentiful resources and people (of course not as much to destroy the nature of outer space). So I think there should be some kind of transportation that would be like a car on land, and temporary places for people to stay for short periods of time, providing oxygen.

//2. Think of some of the fears that existed amongst people during the 15 & 16th century when it came to sailing the open seas (monsters, boiling waters, falling off the edge of the Earth). Identify some of the fears that other people might have today if you had to convince them of traveling into the far reaches of outer space. What would you have to say or do to convince people that their fears are unwarranted and that they will be safe?// - People would probably wouldn't like the idea of going out to space where you cannot breathe and where you might get lost forever, when there is perfectly safe and reliable earth. To convince them, it will cause much knowledge and intelligence. I would have to tell them that it is for the better of our lives, also telling them about how there is possibility that space would be a part of our life as on Earth.

//3. Both Columbus and Magellan had a hard time finding someone to pay for their trips. If it wasn't for the Spanish monarchy, these men would never have been able to afford the financial cost of their adventures on their own. Finding someone to pay for your space expedition is going to be tricky too. Where would you go to gain the funding you need to pay for your space exploration trip? What would you say to the leaders of that nation to convince them of the benefits your expedition would have for their country?// - First, I would let everyone know about my plan to space, then announce it publicly. Then I would introduce myself to many famous Laboratories or even my for country's permission and support. Once again to convince them, I would show them the knowledge of space, and new inventions that would even be beneficial for the country.


 * Life in Mars**

Would you volunteer for the mission? Yes or No? No. Why/Why not? Because the whole journey and the aircrafts are dangerous. And overall, it is a mission that nobody has tried yet, which proves that the security and safety is not yet 100% sure. I could just sit back at home and read the newspaper to find out, or if I want money, I could just become a scientist and come up with a great hypotheses or something.

What sort of people do you suppose would volunteer for this kind of mission? I think people who are brave, eager to see Mars for themselves, adventurous, interested in studying space etc would volunteer for this kind of mission.

What would they have to gain? They would gain experience, and would gain a lot for their studies, or might even become a famous astronaut, being able to do something different from others in the journey.

What, if anything could go wrong? Well obviously, the volunteers would blame the government, and regretting volunteering for this anyway.

What technological advances would have to occur before this could actually happen? There should be enough experiments and trips to be sure about the safety of the trip, and improvements on the machines or supplies.

- South Korea does not allow people to carry weapons unless they are related/in the military. But on the other hand, U.S.A allows people to carry weapons as long as they report their possession of one, and can keep it at home for any traditionally lawful purposes (self defense). - ** South Korea constitution allows freedom of speech, press, petition, and assembly, but speeches in favor of North Korea communism can be punished by the National Security Act (South Korea).
