Some people feel that the cost of space exploration is far too high for the benefits it brings while others argue that we space programmes should continue no matter what the cost. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Some people claim that the spending on

is extremely pricey in terms of advancements it made while others are of opinion that human beings ought to make efforts to explore

via different programmes without regarding the expenditure.

This

issue has raised a thorny question in recent years.

Although

there are good arguments in favour of people claiming that there is no need to expend an enormous amount of money on

, I strongly believe that we have to consider new

programmes to proceed. There is no doubt true that

exploration

is not exactly cheap. It takes the equivalent of millions of dollars to spend even a single robotic mission to

, and billions of dollars to send astronauts to orbit. If we are looking to send explorers to even the nearest celestial bodies, chances are the costs will run into hundreds of billions. For those debating the worth of

, things often turn towards the issue of how many problems we have here on Earth.

For example

as climate change, hunger, overpopulation, and underdevelopment.

Therefore

, some people think that these should take priority over exploring or establishing a human presence in other worlds. Despite the above arguments, I tend to believe that human spaceflight and

has been the ability to study Earth from orbit.

For instance

has allowed us to learn an unprecedented amount about our planet's climate and weather systems. There is another assumption that directing funds into

will deprive other efforts (

However

, there is absolutely no guarantee that money not spent on

would be automatically diverted to dealing with social, economic and environmental issues. To conclude, despite there are several reasons why governments should not commit huge spending on
