Some people think governments should spend money looking for life on other planets, while others think that there are many unsolved problems on Earth. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Recently, there are many ongoing debates trying to reach a consensus on whether

people

should give priority to solve the potential

problems

on

Earth

or to searching for a habitable

planet

in the universe.

This

article will discuss both views and explain why I am more inclined to the former. On one hand, to those who side with the suggestion to find a new

planet

in the universe, the best approach to solve the series of

problems

is not to face it. More specifically,

people

had better move to another suitable

planet

, rather than worry about the situation on

Earth

. We must recognize the fact the mankind civilization really struggles on confronting various

issues

that can hardly reverse like global warming and energy exhaustion.

In other words

, the time and money we spend on tackling

such

problems

are futile.

For instance

, very small progress has been made even though we have spent fortunes on finding and applying a new sort of energy; since fossil fuels are currently the main

of energy, we can hardly alleviate global warming.

Therefore

, settle down on a new

planet

is probably the best-case scenario.

On the other hand

, considering the

people

who maintain that governments should simply pay more to

the known

issues

in advance. Due to the fact that certain environmental

issues

such

as deforestation and desertification have detrimental effects on the ecosystem, which is an indispensable part of the

Earth

, we must stop

such

issues

from

further

deterioration.

In other words

, if nothing is done to alleviate these

problems

, they are going to kill all of us before we make our journey to another

planet

. As an important aside, base on the technology we now have, it approximately takes more than two centuries to build a spaceship

that is

capable of more than 7 billion

people

.

Thus

, there is no exaggeration to say that neither one of the plans can eventually be done if we focus on anything else but not the unsolved

problems

on

Earth

. To conclude, while some

people

claim that we should move to another

planet

since some fatal

problems

seem intractable and others argue that it is of great importance to solve the

issues

before we do anything else, I believe that solve the known

problems

produce the best outcome.
