AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT LOVES SPACE AND WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE SPACE? IT was probably a shit article but I was so blinded by space, I get so emotionally involved and connected to these exploration things. Fuark. It was the best article for me, but it was so shit in terms of stuff to analyse the impact on the audience.

I thought the contention of the first article was a tad ambiguous, was it just as simple as "we should fund space exploration more but do it for the benefit of humanity"?

pretty much what I said. There was a quote I threw in that was basically alongside those words.

I had three things to say about the contention:
a) More funding for space exploration
b) Collaborative effort between governments required
c) Future prosperity of our planet may be increased if we explore space (cuz she talked about resources - gold, platinum etc, the mining boom etc from space)

Section C was just rubbish, the second image had be confused for 80% of the time, and I still am confused. It looks like one image accidentally overlapped it, or whoever wrote the exam just used Microsoft pain last minute and dragged a picture of an astronaut on.

The image is showing all the things that we use in today's society that have come about from space exploration.

I did not realise this lmfao. I said these resources that can be extracted represent the possibilities of space travel or something, inviting the reader to proactively engage with the article and pressure governments for funding or something.

My contention was for memory ... 'for governments to pull resources and collaborate on further space exploration' and to find resources and shit. I reworded the second bit better I can't remember now, but the contention was a quote for memory. I was going to include that exploration was primitive and nature for us human beings which I Read somewhere, but chose not to.

Yeah, didn't see how radial tires and food processing was directly related to space.

Are you sure? I mean, wouldn't the assessor immediately come to the conclusion that we're incompetent and a joke?

How are we meant to know the gender of a non ENGLISH name.
