There are some sources that claim investing in space resources is a waste of money. Although others believe that spending money for yield will have positive results. In my opinion, problems on the earth do not require any money from the government.
Nowadays, healthcare is becoming a main problem of the Earth. If investments pay attention to these problems, they will save many people’s lives. For example, by now, many people, mostly those who are in their late teens, are suffering from complications such as heart palpitations, strokes, and increased blood pressure. Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and a healthy lifestyle, early diagnosis, effective treatment, and mass preventive measures have been implemented to reduce them.
Maintaining health is important, but other factors are also needed to develop it. For example, technologies used in medicine, such as MRI scanners, were originally used for space missions. From this, it can be said that space research will help scientists study such diseases. Therefore, it is better to invest in space research rather than in health care.
To sum up, while healthcare has a valuable place in our society, developing these features will be good for all, as well as help decrease the number of deaths. Developing technologies will be good for exploring new features and helping to find solutions for problems of the Earth.
