Many people believe that money should be spent on improving people’s lifestyles rather than on space exploration. I hold a balanced viewpoint.
On the one hand, exploring space can benefit us in some ways. Investigating the galaxy may increase the possibility of finding information that is necessary for school curricula to help students learn science and astronomy in depth. By doing this, they might become proficient future scientists and work at Earth-monitoring companies such as NASA, warning individuals about predictable attacks, particularly floods and earthquakes. In contrast, if students are not taught about astronomy and findings in space, they cannot be knowledgeable and make people aware of forthcoming threats on Earth, leaving them vulnerable to such dangers.
On the other hand, enhancing life can be more beneficial. The reason is that launching rockets into space is not always successful and does not come at a low price. It demands a huge amount of money, and unsuccessful attempts may result in a considerable waste of funding. For instance, in mid-air, rockets may be burnt and special machines targeted for discoveries may be broken down or collide with objects in space. As a consequence, provided that funding is wasted, it will not be possible to develop either the lives of individuals or succeed in spatial findings.
I believe that the government should invest money in the lifestyle of the population first, then in space explorations. This is because individuals can act as a workforce for governments to do a job at some professions or even to work as astronauts. Without them, governments cannot increase the profit of the country and benefit from laboring to yield products for export. Furthermore, a reluctance to spend money on enhancing the life of individuals can create a room for famine, which leads them to suffer from deadly diseases or even to pass away.
In conclusion, although exploring space does offer a benefit of better education at schools, on the other hand, attempts towards discoveries can waste funds, and I believe that the everyday lifespan of people has to take investments first, but space discoveries then, due to the fact that insufficient funding for life can catalyze the risk of famine.
