As it was a science exploration and discovery by man, it was worth it, we will know the real benefits much later.

What would be a good thesis statement of a research essay titled Is it worth the risk and expense to attempt a manned mission to Mars?
A good thesis statement for a research essay titled, "Is it worth the risk and expense to attempt a manned mission to Mars", could be, "The knowledge and strategic advantage of a manned mission to Mars far outweighs the cost and risks".
Read the following general question Then choose the answer that represents the same question after it has been refined What is the future of space travel?
Is a manned flight to Mars worth the cost and risk? <-- copyright to apex. :)
What is the future for space travel?
Well one possible way would be the plasma engine, which propels the space craft using ions which are thrust out of the fuselage. This is extremely efficient and can run for years on which a space craft now would run in days. Although it is much faster it would still take 40 years to get to the closest star but 39 days to get to mars years.
Why was the space station built in orbit instead of on the Moon?
Low earth orbit is closer, can be reached more efficiently (less expensively) and meets mission objectives of performing scientific experiments and observations in microgravity. A moon orbiting station would be more expensive to maintain, increase risk to the crew aboard and crews servicing it, without added benefit to the mission of the station. To date there have been 6 manned missions to the moon, and 20 missions to the International Space Station which has included numerous Space Shuttle and Soyuz missions providing crew, supplies and segments of the station.
How do spacecraft return to Earth?
First they need to slow their speed so the earth's gravity can 'catch' them. This is done by doing a de-orbit burn. The space shuttle then literally falls from the sky - but in a well planned path - to come to an unpowered landing in either Florida at Kennedy Space Center, or at Edwards Airforce Base in California. The commander is in control and so the landing is done manually as there is considerably more risk with a computer controlled one. A parachute slows the shuttle once it has landed. The Russian Soyuz craft literally fall back to earth onto land, slowed by parachutes. During earlier missions such as Apollo, the capsule came in backwards and a protective shield gradually burnt away thus taking the heat with it. Parachutes also were used to slow the descent. The capsule then splashed down in the sea, and was picked up by naval vessels assigned to the task. You can watch a shuttle return from space on NASA TV from a few hours before landing. This covers the time from the deorbit burn until well after landing. There is a link to the site in the Web Links to the left. Shuttle missions don't happen very often, but you will still find something of interest to watch instead and there are video files of past missions in the ' Video Gallery' within the NASA site.

Are composite risk management tools tailored for specific missions and tasks?
No
When was Dangerous but Worth the Risk created?
Dangerous but Worth the Risk was created in 1985.
Are risk worth taking?
It depends on the risk.
What are the factors to consider in personal liability on homeowners policy?
Your net worth, Potential exposures and the cost effectiveness of transferring the risk to an insurer.
What is assessing risk mean?
Risk a lot to save a lot. Risk a little to save a little. You basically evaluate what is the worth of it and does the risk equal the worth.
Should composite risk managements be tailored for specific missions and task?
False
