In the future it may be necessary for us to live on other planets. For this reason, some people believe that we should spend money now to research other planets, such as Mars. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It says that probably humankind will be forced to conquer a new frontier

such

as other planets.

That is

why some individuals have an opinion that people should allocate funds for the exploration of other planets. I somewhat disagree with

this

idea because society should concentrate on the improvement of life on Earth

first

. It is true that the fundamental

research

of outer space should be conducted.

However

,

this

kind of

research

is highly expensive and demands a lot of work and dedication. Meanwhile, modern humanity is facing serious ecological issues, which have to be solved as soon as possible.

For instance

, if we do not take action immediately, we will end up with an ecological catastrophe. Even today a large number of countries around the globe have an extremely high level of air, water, and soil pollution.

That is

why the government should

first

tackle the mentioned above issues and only after solving them, it is feasible to spend money on cosmic

research

.

In addition

, rocket launching might be the cause of radioactive pollution in the area of a spaceport, which would result in health problems related to it. Unfortunately, scientists have not found an alternative to the rocket fuel yet. In my opinion, scientific society should focus on it as the primary task and leave outer space

research

for the future. In fact, if humanity addresses all modern problems and funds them

first

, it will not be necessary to live on other planets because we will have a thriving and clean planet where everyone will have everything for happy and fulfilled lives. In conclusion, even though I think that some

research

of outer space might be useful, I disagree that authorities should sponsor them, as other social and ecological problems should be tackled as a matter of urgency.
