In the last century, the first man to walk on the moon said it was "a giant leap for mankind”. However, some people think it has made little difference to our daily lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Undeniably, there has been big progress in
space
explorations
. The first
man who walked on the moon in the twenty century said, "It was a giant leap for mankind", implying knowing more about the universe would lead people
to the next
level. However
, in my perspective, the drawbacks caused by space
explorations
outweigh the minimal progress.
First
of all, there are many things that people
have to concentrate on more and spend money
on rather than space
explorations
. Many nations and companies invest enormous money
in the space
business, although
there are so many problems
on the Earth
at the moment. For instance
, a lot of people
who live in countries
in Africa are suffering from poor nutrition. Poor countries
do not have good housing, healthcare, education systems yet. In this
situation, it is ironic that developed countries
spend huge money
that poor countries
really want to solve their countries
problems
that are directly relevant. I reckon government and nations should try to make a better Earth
and make all the people
on Earth
live well.
Of course, there are benefits and advantages from space
explorations
. Since extremely high technologies are needed to launch a rocket or a spaceship, people
could have developed the quality of aeroplanes. Also
, we could have known more about the earth
, such
as the reason why the earthquakes happen. Nevertheless
, these kinds of benefits are less important to make a better Earth
.
To sum up, I reckon that people
should spend more money
solving the problems
on Earth
than knowing about outer space
since there are already enormous unsolved and immediate problems
on Earth
