Some people believe that government spends too much money on space research while there are still a lot of problems on the earth. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

#people #government #money #space #research #earth
I am in total agreement with the statement. Apropos of the statement, very expensive
space
research
 programs
are straining
Suggestion
is straining
 the government budget, jeopardising essential and more pertinent issues like
education
 and
healthcare
Suggestion
health care
 which impact majority of the population especially in developing countries. Many developing nations, as well as
third
 world countries, still have extremely poor literacy rates &
very high percentage
Suggestion
a very high percentage
 of people lack access to even primary
education
. Very few people who can get basic skills like reading and writing are unemployable due to lack of proper vocational training. The government resources should be spent on something as basic and important as employable
education
. Basic
health
care
 is
also
 one of the most important issues. Exponentially increasing medical costs are making access to primary
health
care
 out of reach for many. Maximum countries still lack the basic medical infrastructure. Governments should prioritise medical
research
 making
health
care
 accessible & far-reaching. Crime control, law and justice departments need more attention and budget and mass people are being directly affected with the lacking of basic needs. When many people starve every day and lots of people are not getting proper treatment,
space
research
 seems a luxury we can’t afford. We need to focus on the very basic needs
first
 and
then
 when we have the capability to conduct the
space
research
, only
then
 we should continue
this
. To conclude, though some think that
space
 programs are essential for the advancement of science and technologies, a multitude of basic problems like
education
 & medical &
health
care
 should be given a paramount importance.
