Like I said, I believe the death penalty should not be under the 8th amendment because the death penalty is cruel as some innocent people get executed. Some go through hours of pain. Some get tortured and put in prison instead. This is cruel and unusual punishment.

And what about isolation? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ronald-a-lindsay/the-death-penalty-is-barb b7215568.html And this man was sent to non-lehal jolts and put in prison.. Not unusual or cruel? http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/cruelunusual.html

Your source supports our point as well. The first point they make states our side "It teaches the condemned nothing". As well as "It is hypocritical" and "It is always cruel"

Has it really changed anything? "Death is not only an unusually severe punishment, unusual in its pain, in its finality, and in its enormity, but it serves no penal purpose more effectively than a less severe punishment…” William J. Brennan http://deathpenalty.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=1715

I believe the death penalty should not be under the 8th amendment because the death penalty is cruel as some innocent people get executed. 151 people have been released from the death row. It is worse as it can be their life taken away rather than spending years in prison.

What if we find another planet that we can live on? Or resources we could collect?

How long do you think we can survive at the rate we consume things. We need to expand. And who said we needed light speed? We can surely invent our own ways of travel even wormholes (if the theory is correct). http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/11360840/Wormhole-to-another-galaxy-may-exist-in- Milky-Way.html

What if we come across a habitable planet with more resources? You think we wont need it?

Who said we were looking for rocks? There might be other habitable planets with more resources! We could save more lives if we had more resources.

That is why we should invest money into better technology, to go farther and faster!

But what if we discover something we need? Or we find a habitable planet with more resources?

2 points

I think it is worth it because we have to explore, spread, and discover.
