Some people think governments should spend as much money as possible exploring outer space. Others think governments should spend this money for our basic needs on earth. Which of these two opinions do you agree with?

Experts throughout both the developed and developing nations have debated whether the governments should invest in exploring other planets

such

as Mars, Uranus, and Pluto or whether the governments should spend the capital expenditure on the basic needs of

earth

Suggestion

the earth

. I strongly agree with the view that governments should spend the money on the day-to-day needs of the

earth

to make it

pollution

free.

This

essay will discuss the aspects of

investment

needed to reform the

earth

based on Harvard Planet Review research and Oxford University experiments to demonstrate the points.

To begin

with, the main objective of exploring outer space is to see if the living organisms can survive and if basic elements

such

as

water

, oxygen, minerals, and metals are present in those other planets. If these are present,

then

further

experiments would be carried on to check if human beings can survive there, for which several billion dollars have to be spent on other planets.

However

, if the capital expenditure is spent on planting trees, controlling

water

contamination, land

pollution

, and air

pollution

,

then

earth

toxic materials and green house effects can be reduced, which will make the

earth

pollution

free. In the same line of thinking, Harvard Planet review research published an article, mentioning that if every country takes several measures to control the

pollution

in preserving the natural reserves by spending 10% of the tax earned, it would eventually help in reducing the

investment

by 15%, in healthcare systems as the diseases caused by

pollution

would be heavily reduced.

In addition

to

this

, the investments can be directed to renewable energy sectors

such

as solar panel power

generation

,

water

recycle plants, wind mills electricity

generation

, and marine electricity

generation

.

Although

the initial

investment

is higher, the benefits would have a greater impact as the trees are protected and long term

investment

cost is heavily reduced for energy

generation

. Consistent with the same line of thought process, Oxford University conducted an experiment and illustrated that every installation of

water

recycle plants, increases the probability of seasonal rains by 5% as the forests are preserved due to

water

preservation.

Moreover

, nature protection is the basic need of

earth

for its sustainability. With the aforementioned views and examples, it is ascertained that the governments should continue to invest money on basic requirements on

earth

,

instead

of focusing on experimenting various planets as the outcome is not certain.

Further

, it is predicted that

such

investments on

earth

will have a much higher impact in the long run as the nature is preserved which will benefit the humankind.
