With all the troubles in the world today, money spent on space exploration is a complete waste. The money could be better spent on other things

Nations after nation, every day, every year, celebrate their achievements in

analysis .

However

, it is now time to question how meaningful these blasts are.

This

essay aims to explain why it is questionable.

First

, until all urgent and important matters in

this

globe have been solved, money bumped on

space

analysis is of no meaning. It is not common sense at all to invest millions of dollars researching and producing foods for astronauts (for

space

analysis purposes), while every day thousands of people are starving.

Furthermore

, the discovery of the outer areas only serves a minor group of people if the majority are even not well-educated. Those in rural areas or

third

-world nations do not even know how to prevent common threatening diseases like AIDS and lung cancer.

Then

, some may argue that the purpose of

space

exploration is to discover new lands, and new energy resources or to deter potential threats to the globe.

Nevertheless

, is it effective to do so while other alternatives are available? Lands on earth are not yet effectively used. New energy resources (e.g. solar and nuclear energy) have not yet been widely used. Threats of plagues have not yet been deterred. All these ? not- yet? need fund.

That is

why costly

space

discovery programs are a waste of cash. In the nutshell, people should only invest in

space

exploration providing that the early-mentioned urgent and important matters have been solved.

Also

, the purposes of

space

exploration campaigns should be studied carefully and other alternatives should be considered before the cash is wasted.
