The Importance of Exploration
adapted from NASA

Is space exploration really desirable at a time when so much needs to be done on Earth? It is a serious question that requires a serious answer. One could present many answers as to why undertaking a robust space program is necessary, including everything related to jobs, education, technology development, and national security. In an ideal world, however, one answer is sufficient: we should undertake it for the most basic of reasons—for our self-preservation as a creative, as opposed to a stagnating, society. The concept of space exploration is deeply rooted in our historical context.
Exploration has always been part of the American character. The intangible desire to explore and challenge the boundaries of what we know and where we have been has provided benefits to American society for centuries. For example, the exploration of the American West during the 19th century is a prime example of American exploration that led to the advancement of society. More land was found on the western frontier for settlement and new resources were discovered for use, leading to the nation's growth. Some have argued that many of the distinctive characteristics that make up American society, including inventiveness, inquisitiveness, and individualism, derived from the existence of a frontier. Although the western frontier closed around 1890, Americans later found a new frontier where that same curiosity translated to space exploration. Space as a new frontier has always been a driver of the U.S. space programs.
As H. G. Wells said many years ago, "Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe." We are still in that race today, and surely an international cooperative venture into space strikes a blow against catastrophe and leads to a victory for civilization. Great things were achieved in the past in the name of competition, including the Apollo program, which would never have happened without Cold War competition. The Space Race between the Soviet Union and the U.S. led to the development of programs devoted to scientific research and inventions. Specifically, after the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I, the world's first artificial satellite, America responded by developing and launching a satellite known as Explorer I. It now remains to be seen whether great things may be done in the name of international cooperation.
If history has taught us anything, we must look to the future with the goal of preserving a culture that embraces endless possibilities in the spirit of both science and exploration. As we have seen in the past, exploration of the unknown leads to advancements and improvements that are beneficial to society.

Dr Terrence Latimer, Chief Medical Officer for the famous Team Turbulence, says;
"The key is not to separate riding a bike from your other daily activities, but on the contrary to integrate it. Riding to work
is the best activity, as that gets you in the saddle every day however, not everyone lives close enough to the office to do
that. You don't have to pedal the whole distance, though, as some trains do allow bikes on board. Where to put your bike
at work can also be a concern, but if space is an issue then technology has the answer folding bikes.

Read and write the answer to the given question below...
People have been trying for centuries to prove that aliens exist. But no one has yet been able to do it. Therefore, aliens do not exist. { highlight text = herefore, aliens do not exist. }

1. Which of the following logical fallacies does the author commit upon concluding that "Aliens do not exist"?

a) Begging the question, present in an argument in which the arguer asks his or her opponent to simply accept a conclusion absent any real evidence; the argument either relies on a premise that says the same thing as the conclusion (commonly referred to as “being circular” or “circular reasoning”) or simply ignores an important (but questionable) assumption that the argument rests on.

b) Appeal to ignorance, present in an argument in which the arguer relies on the supposition that, due to a lack of conclusive evidence, the conclusion of an argument should be accepted.

c) Ad populum, present in an argument in which the arguer takes advantage of the desire most people have to be liked and to fit in with others, using that desire to try to get the audience to accept his or her argument.

d) False dichotomy, present in an argument in which the arguer makes it look as though the answer to a question admits of only two alternatives (one that is logical and one that is illogical), when, in reality, there are multiple undisclosed options available.

e) Appeal to Fear, present in an argument in which the arguer relies on the instillation of fear in the opponent, rather than the presentation of evidence, to support a claim. (Also known as a “scare tactic”.)

Which scenario is an example of extrinsic motivation?

A. The doorbell rang, but Manny didn’t answer; he felt too exhausted for visitors.

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”

But it was not dark. Everywhere there were lights—lines of light—circles and blurs of light—ten thousand torches would not have been the same. The sky itself was alight—you could barely see the stars for the glow in the sky. I thought to myself "This is strong magic" and trembled. There was a roaring in my ears like the rushing of rivers. Then my eyes grew used to the light and my ears to the sound. I knew that I was seeing the city as it had been when the gods were alive.

That was a sight indeed—yes, that was a sight: I could not have seen it in the body—my body would have died. Everywhere went the gods, on foot and in chariots—there were gods beyond number and counting and their chariots blocked the streets. They had turned night to day for their pleasure—they did not sleep with the sun. The noise of their coming and going was the noise of the many waters. It was magic what they could do—it was magic what they did.

Which details from the text best support the analysis that the narrator is in awe of the city at night? Select three options.

“But it was not dark. Everywhere there were lights.”
“I thought to myself ‘This is a strong magic’ and trembled.”
“That was a sight indeed—yes, that was a sight: I could not have seen it in the body—my body would have died.”
“Everywhere went the gods, on foot and in chariots.”
“It was magic what they could do—it was magic what they did."
