Adam Sarsfield. “NASA launches first robot into space during last space shuttle Discovery mission.” http://www.examiner.com/science-news-in-new-york/nasa-lauches-first-robot-into-space-during-last-space-shuttle-discovery-mission. November 3rd, 2010.
In this article, Adam Sarsfield, explains how technology has grown throughout the scientific world, and how science could one day effect human lives. He shows that creating robots that will be able to go into space, could one day help do research in space in places where it isn’t safe for humans to set foot on. Making these robots shows how far science has come throughout the years and what effect it could have on the world in later years.
NASA has goals to create these robots to preform duties in space that are not safe for human astronauts to perform. These robots will be able to perform many different duties in space, and could eventually grow into our new form of astronauts. NASA has proved that the once thought impossible acts of robots in space, is very possible and is now a major involvement in the scientific part of the space research today.
According to this article, the purpose of these astronomical robots is to allow themselves to be used in certain circumstances that may not be safe for real people and by creating these robots, would allow humans to interact with the robots while they are in the dangerous situations and will be able to gather the information the human astronauts would gather on their own.
How much safer will robots be while in space, compared to live humans? Will the robots be as affective in their research as a person would be? Could these robots potentially save our astronauts live that are gathering data in space? How will you be able to train the robots on their first visits to space? How do robots affect the science research around the world? Do you think robots are a good step in the scientific world?
1. The works cited looks good other then you need to add .web. and then the date that you accessed the website. Other then that the works cited looks good.
ReplyDelete2. The first paragraph looks great. Your topics all relate to each other. One thing that might help is to maybe explain a little more about there argument. Other then that first paragraph looks good.
3. Second paragraph was interesting, it was excellent. One thing that leaves me wondering is where they want to go that humans are not safe to go. This paragraph is a little short it would help to put a little more detail. Other then that nice job.
4. Third paragraph was good. Has lots of information. I felt like it wasn't the information that I was looking for though. This paragraph could have went well with the second paragraph. This paragraph felt like you were just talking about the article. There was no feedback on what you think of the ideas of robots going into space. Did you agree did you disagree? This can be easily fixed. You will get it next time.
5. Great questions for the last paragraph this is my favorite paragraph out of them all. You had some good solid argument questions. Some of these questions you probably could have talked about in the 4th paragraph. It was a good solid paragraph nice work.
Hey Tyler,
ReplyDeleteMy informal response is quite late, but I figured I'd complete it anyway.
I liked the ideas this article prompted from me. Robotics is an open-ended field with possibilities in every direction. NASA being interested in creating robotics which would eventually replace humans on space missions is similar to the argument for unmanned aerial vehicles. They currently can perform only simple tasks, but they do so much more effectively than their human counterparts. Will the same circumstances hold true for robots in space? Your questions address topics like this effectively and raise some important points, like could a rescue drone be developed to help recover stranded astronauts (in the far off future)? and how would robots affect the scientific process compared to humans? Would there be less or more interference in an experiment?
Good topic, great ideas.
