Abstract: It has been known for quite some time that the energy resources of the planet Earth is both limited and decreasing as the years go on. Many futurists fear for the state of the Earth, and wonder if the planet is capable of housing billions of inhabitants while basic energy sources such as water, food, and land are depleting in increasing numbers every year. Thus, many future theorists and scientists have proposed the enhancement of further development for space exploration as a solution. It is within the context of space exploration that a definite answer can be found when it comes to the Earth’s energy level problems. And so, pushing more resources into NASA’s “Mission to Planet Earth” program, which is to create a support system for civil engineers to study the Earth’s climate more efficiently, can help gauge the overall health of the planet by overseeing empirical data. Therefore, providing assets and funds for the International Space Station and other future space missions can be helpful instruments to see how the Earth is functioning. By doing so, carbon trackers can be used from space in order to predict global warming as well as seeing and measuring the carbon levels of the Earth more precisely. Furthermore, considering colonization of other planets such as Mars is a notable solution as well.
