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

In the coming time, people may require to reside on different

planets

. Because of

this

, it is often argued that inhabitable

planets

should be searched like Mars, by spending funds. But I strongly disagree with

this

statement because some portion of the society is still deprived of basic needs and

this

money could be put for a good cause rather than investing it in space projects.

First

of all, space scientists have done tremendous

research

to know more about the existence of various

planets

and some developed countries are still investing huge sums to carry out these

research

projects.

However

,

this

money can be used for the wellbeing of some resource-deprived under-developed nations. Taking Somalia as an example,

this

country is facing huge water and food crisis . Having said that, it is illogical to carry out

such

research

, when people are not getting enough to eat and drink.

Secondly

, these space

research

funds can be used for medical

research

to treat incurable diseases. Though the medical field has advanced a lot but still for some of the epidemics, vaccines are yet to be discovered, for which huge funding is required.

For instance

, the epidemics

such

as Cancer, AIDS require costly equipment and chemicals.

Therefore

, the countries or the organizations should pay scientific study departments for the betterment of the world. In conclusion, it may seem fascinating to find new

planets

to migrate to,

however

, there are many pressing concerns

such

as poverty and fatal diseases, which needs immediate attention.

Therefore

, sufficient funding is required to carry out the

research

and fulfil the requirements of the developing countries,

instead

of investing in the search for new

planets

to reside.
