Some people believe that using taxpayer funds to look for life on other planets is important. Others, however, think that it is a waste of public money because there are much more important issues requiring funding on our own planet. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In recent times, more and more

people

are trying to find a way to leave the planet

earth

for good and move to another planet. To fulfil

this

life-long dream, a huge sum of

money

is spent using taxpayer funds, which in turn brought up a dispute in public.

According to

some,

money

,made by taxes, could be put into practice in

this

regard,

while

others believe it will totally be a waste of

money

. Those who favour allocating taxable funds support their viewpoint as follows.

To begin

with, they assume the

earth

is no longer a suitable and secure place to reside due to climate change and air pollution. As the whole world is facing an economic crisis these days,

therefore

, their

last

resort will probably be

people

's own

money

. Others,

on the other hand

, have their own plausible reasons and presume that the whole public funds will be wasted, since the globe is facing some challenges,

such

as poverty and health issues. They believe it should be better spread into society. By doing

this

, considering the ton of

money

used, the underprivileged will benefit from a more blissful and healthier life.

Moreover

, millions of lives are under threat because of widespread viral diseases,

such

as Covid-19. knowing the fact that there are still numerous unanswered questions of which humans are not fully aware, it seems they prefer to find a definite cure for

such

highly infectious diseases. From my perspective, I take the view that there are still lingering doubts about life's existence on other planets, like Mars; and

people

can possibly save our planet and make it a better and safer place to live using their own

money

in order to tackle human major concerns like climate change and rising sea levels, thereby, it would be best to invest that

money

on the

earth

.

To sum up

,

although

people

might benefit from

this

in a long run, I take the firm conviction that every single penny should be considered and exercised to humankind's advantage on

earth

.
