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?

#money #space #exploration #waste #governments #benefit #nation
Along with
 the development of advanced technologies, scientists exploring
space
 have emerged widely and a lot of people are arguing about the financial aid which
government
 put into
space
 exploration
projects
.
Moreover
, some believe that the
government
 should spend the money on other sectors as
health
 care and infrastructure developments
instead
 of
space
projects
. I personally agree that the
government
 should spend more on
projects
 like public
health
 care and education. It is well known that the
government
 budget is finite and it is not possible for the
government
 to fund the same amount for every project at the same time. So, the
government
 should fund
projects
 based on results orientated as free public
health
 care which will have a more positive impact on the public than funding
space
 research where we cannot predict the outcome.
Moreover
, investing in educational tools
such
 as computers, school labs and libraries will have a better impact on our future generation who will lead our country one day.
On the other hand
, there is no doubt that
space
 exploration brings improvements to today's technologies and innovation.
Moreover
, there are numerous useful things developed because of massive investment in
space
 research.
For instance
, we can cite spirographic pens, microwave ovens, and satellite communication. And the best example of development is the huge evolution in advanced computers within the
last
 few decades.
To conclude
, even though investment in
space
 research brings good advantages, the
government
 should invest more in sectors like public
health
 and education for people where these areas need more urgent investments as the priority for people lies in these sectors.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
