argument to a large extent. While I think Space Research is crucial, it doesn't necessarily impact the daily lives of the general population.

Moreover

, the Covid-19 pandemic has proven that the current healthcare and

systems are not well-equipped to handle a pandemic of

is crucial for the talent development of future generations. Investing in infrastructure, curriculum development and quality faculty will generate a much larger payoff.
