The cartographer Gerardus Mercator created the Mercator projection by mathematically projecting a vertically oriented cylinder tangent to the Equator. Navigators used this type of map because any straight line on a Mercator map is a line of constant direction. Mercator map projections shows true direction between places the best, but are not equal area or equidistant. This is the projection of choice from Google maps for this reason, despite how the south and north poles distort land size.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Kantian Ethics

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • Egoism
  • Act utility
  • Rule utility
  • Kantian Ethics

In this example, Greg is employing Kantian ethics to deal with this question. Kantian ethics are an example of a deontological moral theory. This means that an act is wrong or right not based on the consequence of the act, but based on whether this act fulfills our duty or not. In this example, Greg argues that he "must try." This is the duty he has to fulfill. Therefore, the way in which he thinks about morality is based on duties, and whether these apply to him or not.

Within this narrative, the text discusses how science fiction writers used space exploration and colonization as a recurring theme in their works. This probably comes from human curiosity about the universe and whether we are alone in the world, or whether there are other beings to which we can make beneficial connections.
