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

It is thought that
space
exploration
is a waste of resources,
while
there are others who think that
exploration
of the
universe
in which we live is important. In my opinion, I believe that
space
exploration
is costly and
therefore
the government of every nation should not invest
money
in
this
. On the one hand,
space
exploration
involves a huge amount of
money
, and I agree. When
people
travel to
space
to explore it, they need some stuff,
such
as a rocket which is expensive and undoubtedly it causes air pollution because of the emissions of greenhouse gasses.
Moreover
, they need a source of energy which will be used by the rocket, namely gas, petrol and electricity.
As a result
, these outlays will be spent by the government,
while
some countries can not afford
this
amount of
money
, and they need to spend it on essential needs.
On the other hand
,
according to
some, it is important to discover if there is somewhere else to live in
this
solar system or not and to know what
people
are surrounded by. When
people
move to the
universe
and discover the
space
there will be more places to live in because many countries are suffering from overpopulation.
Furthermore
, the
universe
can have other sources and opportunities for living and working there.
This
is because when the astronauts find other places, they need employment and citizens there, which will be useful for humans.
For instance
, many engineers will have more opportunities to work in
this
industry because they can create more sophisticated machines for these expeditions.
Thus
, it is important to explore the
universe
. In conclusion,
although
people
may vary in their opinions, I think that
space
exploration
is a waste of
money
and dangerous. If
people
focus more on the earth's development,the earth would be the best place to live in.
