Throughout this unit, we have talked about the perils of the solar system (alien travel, technology limits, the composition of the planets), the uniqueness of planet earth (magnetic zone, water, plate tectonics, weathering), as well as the possibilities for life (the habitable zone, what life is), and its scale (how big is honking big?) Your job is to decide whether space study is worth it or not, based on the budget of NASA and space exploration costs found at Nine Planet Specific questions to be answered: a) what benefits has space study had to humanity, based on your research (include specific evidence)? b) should future missions be manned or unmanned? c) what should happen to the budget of government space agencies like NASA? d) what happens if we decide we've learned enough? e) how has history been changed by the study of space? Your answers to these questions are important, but I am looking for an artifact that details the information as well as a multimedia explanation that is 30 to 60 seconds long that shows me your point of view using pictures, video, or music. Textual answers: 30 points Visual presentation: 20 points
