  Punching the limit of both upwards and downwards are important to us but we have to know the benefits are different depending on different timescales. About the former, we might not be able to see the result during our lifespan; on the other hand, research about deep-sea water will show quick results. I’d like to address these differences.  Exploring the deep sea will give us benefits in a relatively short term. For example, a useful microbe whose enzyme can degrade toxic compounds like H2S (hydrogen sulfide) exists. Through studying such enzymes, we can develop water purification technology. Deep sea creatures give us insights into withstanding extreme water pressure, ultra-black applied for more developed solar panels, and better sensors underwater. Additionally, on the bottom of the sea, rare metals and earths are found. These facts indicate that the deep sea clearly offers good sources for our future technology.  What about space? Planetary exploration cont...

Do you think it is important that humankind pushes the limits either "upwards to the stars" or "downwards to the ocean floor" or both? How might doing so improve our lot? On the contrary, if you  don't  think such exploration is a good idea, where do you think funds could be more usefully directed?   Title your post "Heights & Depths: A Response -- Your Name", and illustrate it with a relevant image. In addition, in your post try to incorporate some of the verb-noun and adverb-adjective collocations we explored in class Personally, it is crucial for humankind to persuit  both space and deep ocean. First of all,  our curiosity  is unstopable toward the unknown. It is inevitable for human to give up persueing ambition. Therefore, it's blindingly obvious that there're people who realise a dream to satisfy  your curiosity.

  In my opinion, it is important that humankind pushes the limit either up to the stars or downwards to the ocean floor because this reminds people of the saying that “everything is possible”.   For example, in the past, traveling to the space or to the moon is unrealistic.   However, Musk shows that in order to pursue his ambitions, he established SpaceX and made Space traveling is possible for some groups of people nowadays. In terms of the benefits that people can get from these 2 explorations.  For the space, I think that it is possible for humans to discover new places to live or discover necessary resources that humans need to survive such as water or food because nowadays the Global warming issue has already showed that we experience severe weather more often or in the future, humans could face a lack of vital resources to survive.  In addition, for the ocean discovery, we can discover new species of marine wildlife or plants that could help humans to ad...
