WT9 1 the study of space and the planets is by nature


expensive. Scientists and politiciansmust constantly attempt to balance costswith potential research benefits. Amajor question is whether the benefits of manned space flight


are worth the costs. As he noted in 2007 in a lecture at the Space


Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, ‘Human beings don’t serve any useful function in space. Tey radiate heat, they’re very expensive to keep alive, and unlike robotic missions, they have a natural desire to come back, so that anything involving human beings is enormously expensive.’ Unmanned missions are much less expensive than manned,


having no requirement for airtight compartments, food or life support systems. Tey are also lighter and therefore require less fuel and launch equipment.


1989, when it observed Neptune, cost only $865 million. their relative


projects yield a much greater volume of data.


manned flights have yet to extend beyond the orbit of Earth’s moon, unmanned missions have explored


our entire


solar system, and have observed an Earth-like planet in a nearby solar system. Manned missions would so far, be away so long,


Structure 2 be able to travel collect so much data while at the


same time guaranteeing the astronauts’ safe return. only manned space flight possesses the


ability to inspire and engage the general population, providing much-needed momentum for continued governmental funding and educational interest in mathematics and the sciences. , media coverage of projects such as the Mars Rover,

I particularly liked the food.➔ One thing I particularly liked was the food.


TIP


Try to vary the vocabulary you use. For example, choose descriptive adjectives, not just ‘nice’, ‘good’ or ‘interesting’. (Look at the blue highlights in the sample answer on p. ST2.)
