Description
The aim of this debate is to view this topic scientifically and gain new perspectives on earth and space/other planets in addition to human civilization survival. With that in mind, both sides of the debate along with readers are all winners.
Disclaimer: My first debate ever, would appreciate feedback from opponent & readers.
Round 1
Forfeited
my dead mmak13 i pray for u , may u enjoy the heaven ........ i c u f******** the debate , but alright its ur decision , that's Y i've respect for it........
any way , as U know humans r ambitious they have no limits so to bound humans to earth is the violation of their instinct and its the violation of their right to fly .......... if humans decide to utilize the resources of earth to explore the different planets .......... we've to respect their decision as i respect ur decision and right to Forfeited the debate
Round 2
First of all my dear AnonYmous_Icon, me forfeiting has nothing to do with the factual validity of my argument. And if you intend to weaken my position by to the fact I have forfeited and claiming it is my "Decision" (assuming that I had no special circumstances) that would be called Ad Hominem fallacy. Also, equating respecting people decision to the validity of that decision is a False equivalency fallacy. Humans have the right to explore anything and anywhere, it does not mean it is valid or sound decision. And to debate, is to prove the factual validity of a position. Which in this case is if exploring space is actually worth the resources directed to them more than exploring earth.
So, with that being put aside. We may actually debate the factual validity of both sides. Which one should be prioritized over the other in terms of resources? A desire to explore should not be prioritized over the need to explore.
Earth is all what we have and the only place we can possibly live at in the foreseen future. Also, we can potentially be easily wiped out by it faster than we could EVER reach another planet.
We know very little of current natural phenomena which may wipe us all out and humanity has no chance to stand in front of it or to protect itself, we can only prey and hope that it does not happen in a great magnitude and some of us can survive. (e.g. Supervolcanos & Megatsunami). Putting the right resources in exploring such matters rather than the fancy "Mars & Moon Missions" can actually save humanity, let alone the fact that we are directing resources towards some wishful dreams of living in environments which are not welcoming to humans at all. Still we are continuously trying to force a solution to make "the hollow, yet fancy utopian dream" happen.
Earth has been very graceful to us and has provided us with all the energy we have ever needed to build civilizations, energy which actually can be obtained, transported and used when and where needed. Yet we follow wishful dreams and find ourselves overspending on continuous research towards beneficial energy from space (e.g. solar power), and studying the sun or other stars, rather than focusing on our earth. If we had focused on our earth and spent even as half as what have been spent towards outside of it, this would have led us to an even further optimized planet (e.g. better energy sources, energy storage, healthier environment and even solar power utilization). For example, we are faced with a great challenge in storing solar power when the sun set. This is due to the huge expense of storage means despite our efforts to pump up our production of finite minerals (e.g. Lithium) or invest heavily on other means of energy storage. On the other hand, If we had focused on our planets and harvesting the energy of its core, we could have solved this problem sustainability. Not to mention a lot of other scenarios where we could have saved the planet and reduced pollution first before looking for another planet to live in just by directing resources towards exploring earth and harvesting it.
My Dear mmak13 😊 , haha
i really c what u say but i read the Disclaimer too
Disclaimer: My first debate ever, would appreciate feedback from opponent & readers.
so i've intentions of appreciations but by all respect , ur decision and right to Forfeited the most first round of debate demolish them.....
i thought i can never share the table of debate to u , but i really show my respect towards u and if it possible pardon me for that's paradox
alright but now come to ur words , haha
Earth is all what we have and the only place we can possibly live at in the foreseen future
yeah i agree with u if u say that some centuries before but its only belongs to our past , but our present and future tell us a different story ........ ambition humans take risk from the very initial of their history ....... afraid and stay in caves ....... then take a risk and fight with animals and creatures and find a way to fight against them for their survival ........ invent fire and a lot ........ start from the institutions of family to make cities and states then conquer what they don't own ........ taking what they want from their enemies and server the beloved ones
its true that humans always think big and have intentions to expand their civilization from lands to oceans from mountains to depth of earth we found a lot and now going to explore that humans can never reach
as u think
Earth has been very graceful to us
Ofcourse it is , but we can't stick to it for millions of years , we've to know what else after this earth .......
Humans have no limits
