The debate over whether money spent on space exploration is a waste has been ongoing for decades. While some argue that governments should allocate these funds to more immediate needs such as healthcare, education, or poverty alleviation, others believe that space exploration offers long-term benefits that justify the investment. In my opinion, while it is important to address pressing societal issues, space exploration should not be dismissed as a waste of resources, as it drives technological advancements, fosters international cooperation, and expands our understanding of the universe.
