2020 Space Exploration

If I was an astronaut in the year 2020, and was asked to go to unexplored space, I would first have to think over all the aspects of the trip. First, what kind of good could come out of it? I might find some new element or compound that could help fight diseases. I might find some form of never ending regenerative energy source. I would also have to look at the drawbacks. If I’m going into unexplored space, then there are probably dangers that I don’t know about. For instance, there could be frequent meteor showers or some form of solar winds. After weighing the possibilities I would have to make a choice. No matter how hard I try to forget or ignore it, I would end up choosing one or the other. Let’s say I choose to go. Why would I do this? Because, after looking over the possibilities I realize, that it is better to take a chance for man kind then to stay safe for myself.
