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?
Governments of many
countries
put aside a lump sum to fund space
research. Space
exploration could potentially provide us with answers to many unanswered questions such
as the existence of life outside of Earth and the creation of energy from sources other than fossil fuels. Although
this
gives opportunities for incredible findings and advancements, it is more important for the governments to ensure people of their country receive access to basic necessities such
as healthcare
and food.
Healthcare
is now becoming more difficult to access by people, even in developed countries
like the UK due to
overpopulation and staff shortage. The money spent on building rockets is more than enough to build plenty of new hospitals and employ new staff. Moreover
, the situation is a lot worse in developing countries
where people lack access to basic medical care such
as vaccinations for newborn babies. It is therefore
wise for politicians to allocate available funds to establish and improve healthcare
rather than investing in space
exploration.
Families living on the support of one working parent often live on a tight budget and can barely afford basic essentials such
as food, clothing and travel. Likewise
, in some countries
, families starve for a few days a week due to
unemployment. It is therefore
important that the government address poverty in their country before spending billions of dollars on something that is
unlikely to give any benefit in the foreseeable future.
In conclusion, even though space
exploration can be the root cause of a great invention of the future, it is essential that politicians first tackle the issues surrounding basic necessities such
as healthcare
and starvation.Submitted by Mangalakumaran.sangeetha on
