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

While we spend more and more on
space
exploration
, we still have numerous problems on the earth, namely poverty, environmental pollution, etc.
Therefore
, there is an ongoing debate about whether we should spend as much as possible or we should cut the expense of universe
exploration
. Both sides of the argument will be analysed in
this
essay, and
then
I will try to draw a reasonable conclusion.
To begin
with, we have already spent a lot

space
exploring, and we can hardly see any benefit it brings us.
For example
, different countries spent thousands of billions of USD trying to send people into
space
, succeeding in sending people out of the earth and even managing to get on the moon.
However
, those successful attempts have little influence on our daily life.
As a result
, some people question the necessity of exploring outer
space
and claim we should reduce its cost.
On the contrary
, others insist on
exploration
arguing that scientific researches always have few short-term effects, but benefit human being in the long run. To illustrate, physics scientists cost even more to build large atom-collision facilities to understand how the atom works.
Similarly
, it is hard to see the benefits at
first
sight, but we all understand fundamental physical research will benefit us sometime in the future.
Thus
, spending money on the
exploration
of the universe is a very worthwhile task. To summarize, both sides considering whether we should cut the budget or we should spend more on
space
exploration
have strong support. But, after careful analysis, I strongly believe that we should keep founding
such
scientific
exploration
. It can be predicted that, after we possess sufficient knowledge about outer
space
, we can make our everyday life better by applying
this
knowledge, and
consequently
the
exploration
is worth the cost.
