The money spent by the government on space programmes would be better spent on vital public services such as schools and hospitals. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is believed that

authorities

should spend funds on public services

such

as schools, hospitals, transport and so on rather than spending it on

space

programmes

. I would disagree with

this

view because, in my opinion, the authority is doing it to help its citizens. The paragraph below will discuss more about it. The population of

this

world is increasing day by day, and the national

authorities

are finding themselves in a tough spot to provide basic necessities to their people. To find alternative sources for

this

issue, the government is spending a lot of funds to hold research

programmes

in outer

space

and to find

, the

are beneficial for the education sector as well. Young minds can learn about different things

such

as galaxies, solar systems, planets and so on. It is believed that if Neil Armstrong never stepped foot on the moon, people would never know about Earth's natural satellite.

However

, the government is already funding healthcare facilities and schools. It has become easy and cheaper to become a teacher, doctor, engineer and so on. On the other ,hand it takes years to work on

space

programmes

and execute them. There are many articles in newspapers that prove that some people spend government-allocated money on their personal luxuries rather than spending it on schools and healthcare. In conclusion, though there are several advantages of government spending money on

space

programmes

authorities

should take care of the basic needs of their citizens.
