some people think that space exploration is a waste of resources while others think that it is essential for mankind to continue to explore the universe in which we live. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

There is no doubt that countries have invested substantial amounts of money in

space

exploration

.

While

some people think

this

activity is a waste of resources, others argue that humans must continue to explore the universe. In

this

essay, I will discuss both sides of

this

topic and explain my support for the latter view. On the one hand, governments cannot disregard that

space

this

activity can bring to them, so they think it represents

On the other hand

, learning more about the universe can be the answer to many problems that humanity has recently been facing.
