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

#missions #space #earth #demand #attention
The problem of exploring
space
 and resources allocated to it is considered controversial. Some people believe that exploring
space
 is vital. Another group of people is convinced that there are more problems and questions on Earth, which require instant consideration and help, compared to
space
. Supporters of
this
 opinion, ask reduction of
space
 missions' frequency. To my mind, reduction of
space missions' number
Suggestion
the space missions' number
 is a good idea, as there are, unfortunately, multiple social and environmental threats.
First
 of all, the current situation with the COVID-19 made the world society vulnerable. Economic problems alongside with the health problems forced people to look for treatment and made governments spend a lot of money to support their economy.
Moreover
, with decreasing employment and increasing poverty, there are hunger issues, lack of water issues, etc.
Also
, a lot of attention has to be put into the environment. Greenhouse effect, emissions, water pollution may question
further
 population's safety.
However
, since the Earth is a part of the Solar System, which, in its turn, is surrounded by multiple systems and galaxies, the Earth has to be kept intact from
space
 threats.
In addition
, current environmental problems forced people to look for alternative places of living.
Thus
, various researches improve the understanding of
space
 itself, making it a safer place. Considering possible arguments, I support the
second
 group, since people deserve to be given guarantees about the future and be protected from problems that are present nowadays. To conclude,
space
 has to be explored and researches have to be completed to minimize possible risks from the outside.
However
, a major part of financial resources need to be allocated to social and environmental issues which can be proceeded by reducing the number of
space
 missions.
