Some people feel that the exploration of space justifies a large amount of government and private investment. Other people think that this field is of increasingly low relevance, and should not be a priority
The issue of whether people should explore the universe outside the earth is partly the question of cost-effective investments made by authorities.
However
the question of non-money benefits Linking Words
also
plays an increasing role, and so Linking Words
this
debate is rather complex, as we shall see.
On the one hand, those who support the idea of halting exploring space point to the greater importance of other technologies which exert a direct impact on people's lives. Linking Words
For example
, the development of the internet and AI technology could instantly stimulate efficiency and productivity, directly enhancing social welfare. Linking Words
Furthermore
, it is Linking Words
also
true that the funds allocated to discovering space could be distributed to the poor in order to tackle poverty issues, Linking Words
consequently
resulting in a greater number of laborforce whose productions could contribute to more aggregate outputs and faster economic growth.

By contrast
, supporters of investigating the outer earth state that the earth has limited natural resources, Linking Words
for instance
, natural gas and petroleum, and Linking Words
this
scarce treasure will certainly die out one day due to human activities. Linking Words
Therefore
, it is necessary for humankind to seek another planet containing these resources in order to maintain the normal operation of modern society. They Linking Words
also
say, with some merit, that the research on the universe has stimulated scientific progressions, especially the advancements in physics. Linking Words
For example
, owing to the invention of rockets and spaceships, the General Theory of Relativity hypothesized by Einstein could be evidenced based on data collected outside the atmosphere. Undoubtedly, the progressions of scientific research would certainly advance the improvement of modern technologies, which is conducive to ordinary people in the long run.
In conclusion, it appears to me that the strong argument is in favour of the idea of discovering the unknown universe, with all the advantages of new sources of energy and long-term technological upgrades. Linking Words
This
is provided that the government can enact appropriate policies to promote economic welfare and overcome social problems.Linking Words
