Share your opinions about space exploration below, and then find out what other students think.

What do you think scientists' most important goal should be for space exploration?

  • They should conduct scientific studies that can lead to advances in medicine, technology, and other fields.
  • They should try to find out if Martians do exist.
  • They should find out which planets are most hospitable to human life.

Do you think it's wise for the government to spend millions of dollars on space exploration? Or would it be better to devote that money to solving problems here on Earth?

  • Space exploration is worthwhile. What scientists learn in space can lead to improvements here on Earth and may also help us colonize other planets.
  • Space exploration is too expensive. We should spend the money on other, more worthwhile projects.

Do you think people will someday colonize and live on Mars?

  • Yes
  • No

Do you think we have the right to colonize other planets after polluting our own?
