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
It has become an increasingly heated topic for the government to allocate funds in space exploration with many commentators suggesting that they should invest in the country's development to create beneficial advantages to the nation. I would agree with
this
 and provide an effective way to allocate
this
money
. First of all, the amount of
money
 that can be spent to improve the country's infrastructure. Governments can use
money
 to construct new railway lines to connect cities.
This
 can reduce
people
's density in metropolitan areas because
people
 can live in rural or suburban areas and work downtown.
Furthermore
, governments can allocate
money
 to subsidize the processing cost for public transport to reduce the cost of living of citizens.
This
 can encourage
people
 to use public transportation rather than their passenger cars and
also
 reduce carbon emissions to save the world and the environment. Another point to note is that expenditure on education is much more worthy than on space exploration. Governments invest in education by providing education-free programs. It is possible to reduce crime rates because
people
 with poverty and a lack
education
Change preposition
of education
show examples
 have the potential to commit a crime and re-offend.
Therefore
, giving opportunities for individuals to polish their employability and enhance their working skills for free can help vulnerable
people
 earn their livelihood.
This
 can lead to reduced social issues,
such
 as robbery, and improve citizens' safety. In conclusion, I would argue that it is much more beneficial to spend
money
 on infrastructure and educational free programs rather than on space exploration. The fact that investment in these mentioned figures offers various advantages to improve the quality of life and society safety and employability of citizens.
