A group of students are discussing space exploration in their science club.
Sarah: If humans find intelligent life on another planet, the world will change forever.
Tom: I agree. If we develop faster spacecraft, we will be able to explore more distant galaxies.
Emily: What about resources? If we run out of resources on Earth, we will have to mine asteroids.
David: That's a huge challenge. If we don't start thinking about sustainable solutions now, future generations will face serious problems.
