The money spent by governments on space programs would be better spent on vital public services such as schools and hospitals. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is argued that many countries who are investing a huge amount of

money

in expensive

space

discovery projects should have rather used that amount to develop public services. I completely agree with

this

view, the governments should not waste

money

on costly and risky

space

explorations, rather it should carefully allocate the

money

to make the public services better. Except for some highly developed countries investing in costly

space

programs are not so beneficial for the mass people living in poor or developing nations. Most of the time spending into these heavily funded

space

projects does not yield significant benefit on people’s day to day life.

For instance

,

last

year the economically backward country; Iran unsuccessfully launched a

space

program, where the

space

shuttle crashed and all the

money

were gone

was gone

within a fraction of a

second

.

Furthermore

, these

space

missions are not only

pricy but

price, but

price but

also

life-threatening.

Hence

, I believe governments should not undertake

such

lavish programs when they have many crucial issues to solve

first

.

On the other hand

, each economy has only a limited amount of resources to use. In

this

context, it is much wiser for the authorities to utilize these available but scarce funds into easily achievable projects, which will ultimately enhance the quality of public services.

For instance

,

people

People

living in the LDCs (least developed

counties

countries

) are surviving under the poverty line, and the basic human needs

such

as primary education, free

healthcare

Suggestion

health care

, cheap accommodation, and public transportation need to be developed with the available budget. Spending the budgeted

money

on mass people will increase the living standard, bring harmony and order in the vicinity.

Therefore

, making general people’s lives better be the

first

priority of the government,

than

subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)

foolishly investing in

space

projects. In conclusion, my view is that the drawbacks stemming from spending in the

space

programs will outweigh the benefits of investing

money

for the betterment of mass people by developing public services.
