Do we need manned space flights?
Position‹3 of 3

No, space flights are too dangerous

This position holds that we do not need manned space flights because they are too dangerous. It argues that the probability of a crewed expedition failing is unacceptably high, and that long-term radiation exposure and the psychological toll of space travel pose lasting risks to astronauts.

Supporting arguments · 3

  1. Probability of a space expedition failure is too high
    A vast number of drone expeditions failed with the destruction of the spacecraft
  2. The effects of a long term exposure to radiation
    Astronauts will not likely be protected neither in the voyager neither in the trip nor in the permanence on a planet
  3. Psychological effects of space travel have a lasting impact on mental health
    There is a long-awaited trip to Mars scheduled for the 2030’s, but astronauts have recorded psychological challenges while in space for a shorter amount of time. Manned space flights put people at a significant health risk.
