Space exploration is belived to play an vital role in the developement of our globe, while others argue that this just shows the pride of some nations, I strongly agree with the former and I think that in the future every nations will collab and together developing space exploration.
Firstly, there is no doubt that national pride has significantly contributed to space exploration. For instance , the race of whom reaching the moon first between the US and Soviet Union during the cold war had grounded the foundation to space exploration these days. However, because of the national pride, some countries gradually pay for expensive space projects . Meanwhile, there are more social issues need to be tackled like education or healthcare. As a result, exploring space just for national pride can lead to that own country being rudimentary.
Secondly, while nationalistic has increased the pace of developing space exploration, scientific projects such as exploring space are carried out for the future of humanity. Indeed, scientist continually invent new technology for space exploring, so they can please the curiosity of many people as well as find another homes for future mankind. In addition, space exploration holds the key to the future of humanity. Hence, such important task cannot be accomplish by just a sole nation, it need the collaborate of astronomers in every parts of the world.
In conclusion, while nations reputation has an undeniable impact on the rapid developement of space exploration nowsaday, I strongly believe that the cooperation of every countries is the primary factor.
