Some people say that spending the national budget on soace exploration is a waste of resources. They insist that those funds should be spent on people living on earth. Do you agree or disagree?

Many believe that allotting funds to develop technology for

space

exploration is unjustifiable and that it should be allocated to the people on earth. I agree with

this

and I believe that

space

missions have more disadvantages than disadvantages.

Firstly

, depending on the length and the goal of the mission, millions if not billions of dollars have to be used. In fact, the national budget could be far better used for projects

such

as the energy transition process from fossil to renewable sources for our earth

instead

of wasting it on

space

travel.

Secondly

,

space

exploration can offer almost endless opportunities for technological advancements. It is often quite time-consuming and missions may not yield any results. In fact, all attempts to find extraterrestrial life have failed up to

this

point and

this

might not change in the near future.

Thirdly

, there are plenty of controversies regarding the long-term health effects of

Space

travel on our astronauts.

Although

scientists argue that it does not cause too many severe long-term health issues. Astronauts are exposed to ionizing radiation which puts them in a more serious problem in the long run. In fact, according to some scientists, the probability of astronauts

to suffer

suffering

cancer will be much higher compared to that of an average person. In conclusion,

space

exploration may be important not just for each country and for the survival of the human species, it cannot be denied that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages and we cannot risk the time and money if the research fails.
