It is sometimes argued that
does not bring real benefits to human
even though it implies a great advance in the history of humanity. While I agree that many successes of
have not yet contributed to the daily
of the population, I believe that the results obtained from it have implied certain importance in human
.
On the one hand, there are many reasons against
voyage.
, the cost of exploring
is one of the biggest criticisms of efforts to launch a program that takes humans beyond the planet. Technology advancements in recent years could make
issue cheaper for the
generation, but many people wonder if it is necessary to spend billions of dollars on
while millions of people in the world face starvation every day.
, many people consider that now is not a proper time to start exploring the universe. There is an opinion that maybe the governments and big enterprises should focus on addressing some immediate concerns of society
as crime, pollution, and poverty.
all the natural resources are running out, mining asteroids for their raw materials and mineral content could be postponed in the future.
, I believe that there are several benefits of
despite these above arguments. The
one could be the launching of satellites to observe weather conditions on Earth.
increases the amount of data available to meteorologists with the most accurate weather forecasts possible in areas not covered by traditional devices and allows them to give advanced warnings of severe weather conditions
as hurricanes and snowmelt,
saving lives. The
is the possibility of conducting biomedical research. Studies of human
in
have improved understanding of the effects of adapting to a
environment,
as alterations in body fluids and the immune system.
, discoveries related to the human body and
, particularly the effects on bone development, may provide a greater understanding of biomineralization and the process of gene transcription.
In conclusion,
travel could not help directly to solve social issues
as poverty, starvation, and pollution, but I believe that it would be a new door for humanity to reach new knowledge and technologies to improve human
.
