Task 3: NASA has experienced several failed missions such as the Challenger explosion in 1986. Do the benefits outweigh the costs? Explain your reasoning, providing at least 3 pieces of evidence to support your

claim.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Yes, I think that the benefits outweigh the costs because of the following reason.

1.- In these kinds of operations there is a major risk involved and the administrations know it and the astronauts know it. They are very aware of this and that is why they have special preparation. However, the success histories and successful missions outnumber the fails.

2.- NASA has sent men into the moon, and that is a major advancement that was reached after many failed attempts. But the mission was well worth it.

3.- Satellites have changed the way people live on earth. Too many benefits to be numbered. The internet, satellite TV, and communications. security, monitoring of the weather and the environment, and so on. And NASA has invested millions of dollars to accomplish these feats.

i think i will need more detail to answer if this is a specific question on a test, but technology advancements are good for many industries, such as medicine or food industries, new technology could us in medicine in ways such as new scanners to tell us more about our bodies or new cures or vaccines for diseases.
