Rhetorical information
This scholarly research article “Space law: a treatise” highlighted an argument, does space exploration have any value? Till today we have seen that exploring universe, other galaxies and stars are some of the advantages of space exploration. Space exploration paves the way to advanced technology. Despite of this some research scholar argued that expense and possibility of bringing back harmful elements to Earth are some of the drawbacks.
A summary of the source’s content
Lyall depicted that activities of space exploration is for socio-cultural benefit as it helps to establish cultural harmony among different countries. However, another argument is presented that this activity does not offer peaceful cooperation between countries like USA and Soviet Union[1]. Adding more to the surprising fact, space exploration is the major reason for the depletion of the ozone layer. This process is also expensive and astronauts often lost their lives while exploring space. One example that can be noticed in this aspect is that in 1986 and 2003 a space shuttle Challenger and shuttle Colombia were exploded[2].
The writer’s evaluation of the source
The strength of the source is that all the data are relevant and highlight the real term examples for proving their arguments. The weakness of this research is also surprising that no action is taken by scientists or states to diminish the study of space exploration. Scientists will continue to research on space rather than taking that much effort on the other problems like unemployment or research on problems.
