Missions to explore space are hugely expensive, and there are problems on Earth which demand our attention. The number of these missions needs to be reduced. Do you agree or disagree

  

Space

exploration has remained one of the greatest achievements of mankind. The notion that

space

missions should be reduced, because there are more dilemmas on our planet that need urgent attention, is becoming increasingly popular. In my opinion, I totally agree that the exploration of

space

should take a back seat and the funds poured into it should be used for the development and

sustainabilty

the property of being sustainable

sustainability

of the earth.   

First

and foremost, there is no doubt that

space

projects are a huge investment, but sadly they do not generate revenue, neither do they impact human lives. They only satisfy the curiosity of man to know and experience the galaxies around him. There are capital intensive projects that can use these funds

instead

, which in the long run will benefit most of humanity,

such

as

povery

the state of having little or no money and few or no material possessions

poverty

eradication and provision of portable drinking water.

Furthermore

. These resources can be

into helping resource- poor countries.

For example

, NASA

,

,

published in 2019, that it spent about 15 billion US dollars on

space

projects in the past year alone.

On the other hand

, the Cleveland clinic,

also

published in 2019, that it would need about 5 billion dollars to provide free medical care to all Americans in 2019.

This

shows that the money spent on trips to

space

can be used to better the day to day lives of people,

hence

it should be curbed.    

Secondly

, a lot of resources are out

these missions. Apart from the technology and infrastructure, there is

also

the issue of manpower

such

as engineers

amd

in order to; used instead of "to", especially after try, come, go

and

doctors. These people who are most likely to be at the top of their respective fields, are recruited for these projects, shifting their attention  away from more significant issues affecting mankind.

In addition

, it leaves room for gaps in learning and innovation in those fields.

For instance

, the Harvard Research Institute, released a

survey, it

carried out in 2018, which showed that 70% of its scientists

be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about

one or two people that could give them headway in their current research works but are currently doing

space

activities.   In conclusion, the topic of whether or not missions to

outer space

should be reduced due to high cost remains controversial. I strongly agree with the school of though that these activities should be restricted and the funds

to solve  the major obstacles the planet is currently facing like poverty and food shortages.
