Which bodies currently fund research into your topic?
The number of researching companies is growing from day to day and is nearly becoming uncountable. Currently the biggest and probably best known companies to research into space exploration are the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and The Russian Federal Space Agency (RKA). What really surprised me in a positive way is that there are more and more private companies to fund research and invest in space exploration. A few of them are for example: Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX), the Orbital Sciences Corporation, the Boeing Company, Blue Origin, Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) and Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK). All these companies, whether being private or governmental bodies, share the same struggles and, more importantly, have the same goal. As far as NASA is concerned, they all want “to reach for new height and reveal the unknown so that what we do and learn will benefit all humankind”.
Who do you think should fund research into your topic and why?
In my opinion, everyone could and should contribute to the important fund research into space exploration. Not only private and governmental bodies are able to make a difference for the future of humankind. Every individual that is interested and has a common opinion on the exploration of new planets, can help. Some of you might think now, but how can we help? The ideal way would be to study physics, astrology or any other related study and to either found your own company or apply for an already existing one. As this is not suitable for everyone who wants to help, another, easier way would be to invest money in big and trustful companies like NASA or SpaceX. The revolutionization of the transport system from Earth to space and back is the focus of most of the companies. They mainly want to enable people to live on other planets to preserve human life in the future. Isn’t this argument enough for companies and individuals to do fund research and inventions into space exploration?
Does the science in your topic benefit everybody? If so, who does it benefit the most?
Of course. Even though the benefit is not entirely understood by most of the people and maybe not visible yet, it will, for sure, be a great benefit for mankind in the future. I mean, wouldn’t it be great for people to be able to live on another planet but the Earth? Just consider a dramatic apocalypse on Earth. Where would we all go? Wouldn’t you want a safe place for your children to live at? Well, think about it.
If it does not benefit everybody equally, should society being paying for the research?
If the companies manage to discover a planet which would be habitable for humans, and they will, it would benefit everybody equally.
