Missions to explore space are hugely expensive, and there are problems on Earth which demand attention. The number of these missions needs to be reduced. Do you agree or disagree?

Life on Earth faces serious risks mainly due to global warming, and humans

However

, there is an enormous amount of money being spent on missions to explore space. I agree with those who advocate for a reduction in the number of these missions.

Hence

, the amount delivered to space exploration should be limited to the actual necessary to avoid wars, not more than that. In conclusion, I believe that the number of exploratory missions should, at least, not be increased, and more funds ought to be given to companies offering solutions to demanding problems on Earth. If

that is

taken seriously by lawmakers, we will live in a peaceful world.
