Money spent on space exploration is a complete waste. Governments could better spend this money on other things to benefit the nation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some

people

believe that

investments

in space projects are a waste of

money

. For these

people

, the

money

of taxpayers should be spent in other areas to bring more benefits to citizens. I agree with

this

point of view and

this

essay will explain the reasons. It is known that the budget of the government is finite and it is not possible to invest in all fields at the same amount and at the same time.

As a consequence

, public authorities have to make choices and define priorities. So, in my opinion,

investments

in subjects

such

as poverty and health,

for example

, are more important, from the perspective of the population, than sending a new rocket to the Moon or to Mars.

Furthermore

, there are several urgent problems like climate change and global warming to be addressed as soon as possible. As the sources of

money

are limited, the government should make decisions to help more

people

.

On the other hand

, there is no doubt that researches in space exploration bring some improvements in technology and innovations. There are many examples of new products developed

due to

the massive

investments

in the exploration of the universe.

For instance

, we can cite spirographic pens, microwave ovens, and satellite communication. Another good example is the huge evolution of computers in the

last

decade. All in all,

to conclude

, I think that despite the

investments

in space exploration bringing some advantages, there are other areas much more urgent to invest the

money

of

people

. As mentioned before,

of poverty and environmental issues should be the priority.
