The benefits of space exploration

Read out this piece of thest and write down some of the benefits of space exploration.http://www.classzone.com/science_book/mls_grade7_FL/695_698.pdf


We are surrounded every day by technologies developed for space exploration. The artificial heart for example, resulted from experiments on the space shuttle and a partnership with renowned heart surgeon Dr. Michael Debakey. The hand held Jaws of Life used to save victims from car wrecks originated from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Even the insulation that keeps our homes warm and energy efficient is based of the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.
These advances are found in our food, our building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. So the next time you wonder if it is a waste of time and money to explore space remember that it is actually an investment that improves the quality of our lives.

Earthquake Diary

Today has been a terrible day:

I woke up in the morning and I thought it was going to be a great day .I was going to play with my friends but suddenly  ,while I was having breakfast, the earth began to tremble .It produced a terrible noise .I thought thousands of lorries were crashing into each other .I went to look out the window to see what was happening. I was horrified; There were people bleeding ,babies crying, mothers screaming and running … and obviously people helping each other .I was looking out of the window looking at the buildings fall down, the cathedrals ,the libraries ,the school...and now here I am, one of the people who survived. I am lucky to have my house in one piece . My parents got killed and now here I am, all on my own .In the future ,I might have a family ,and a good life .But now ,I have to think in the future .Tomorrow my uncle and my aunty are going to come  and let me go to Spain.
