I believe that space exploration has often been seen as a benefit for scientific research and discoveries and innovations, even though it has its own drawback because it requires a large amount of money and it also leads to exploitation of a lot of resources. Humans are trying to discover different things out of the world, out of the earth as well, But at the same time, they are destroying the natural resources leading to the destruction of natural habitat, destruction of food webs or extinction of species, and global rising temperatures as well, because the rockets, they release a lot of harmful emissions, which also contribute to the global warming. And about colonization is that at the same time, I believe, is reducing the diversity, especially the cultural diversity around us, because this affects a lot of people. Not only it is making people socially insecure, but it is taking control of people’s tradition and culture, which they have been holding back for a long time. And at the same time, in the era of growing technology, we as a community should be preserving our history. But I believe that colonization is reducing all such possibilities that could have been arised or, you know, minting biodiversity, it cannot be because of colonisation.

I believe that space exploration has often been seen as a benefit for scientific research, discoveries, and innovations, even though it has its drawbacks because it requires a large amount of money and leads to the exploitation of many resources. Humans are trying to discover different things outside of the world, outside of the Earth as well. But at the same time, they are destroying natural resources, leading to the destruction of natural habitats, destruction of food webs, extinction of species, and rising global temperatures as well, because rockets release a lot of harmful emissions, which contribute to global warming. Regarding colonization, I believe it is reducing diversity, especially cultural diversity around us, because this affects many people. Not only is it making people socially insecure, but it is taking control of traditions and cultures that they have held for a long time. In the era of growing technology, we as a community should be preserving our history. However, I believe that colonization is reducing all such possibilities that could have arisen, or, you know, maintaining biodiversity cannot happen because of colonization.
