Nowadays, humankind have already achieved numerous achievments which had revamped social life.Some say that not only will scientists be able to solve many societal problems but space will be explored by help of advanced technologies . It , however, may require great investment to get target. While others criticise it would be better to fund on some challenges which mankind is facing including poverty, quality healthcare and education. I believe belive that spending great amount of money for exploration of universe could place burden on public finance since we don’t know what to expect if we get targeted achievement or not.
On the one hand, exploring space could ensure people with a lot of remarkable solutions for social problems. As the number of people has raised significantly there is more demand for new resources and place. By discovering new groundbreaking resources on space may solve our problems. For example, Elon Musk who is the CEO of SpaceX has announced that a new living form has been founded on Mars and there is a massive possibilty that human beings could live there in the future if we have no enough resources on Earth.
On the other hand, we have no factual information tha proves if environment of Mars could be as just sustainable as of Earth for us. But we have certain information that shows millions if not billions of people are suffering from water depletion in most parts of Africa and overpopulation is causing homelesness in many parts of Europe and North America. Were we not pay attentioin to these problems urgently it may lead some severe outcomes. It is reported that thousand of people are passing away from starving.
In conclusion, Exploration of space and societal challenges are multifaceted needs nowadays. Funding on solving current social problems would overweigh than investing in exploration of universe, though.
