Nowadays It is highly debateable issue that some people think that astronomical cost could b used in socioeconomic problems of earth.while i accept the immediate and serious problems of earth but i still believe space exploration is crucial for long term benefits for humanity in many ways.
Admittedly that space exploration derives some benefits for earth public such as weather forecasting,monitoring climate change,predicting natural disasater,tracking deforestation.furthermore the advancement in water purification,telecommunication and even medical imaging devolved for astronauts are now utilised daily in hospitals and homes globally.therefore money spent in space derives innovation that boost our economy and save lives.
However there are critical issues facing our planet such as climate change,pandemic.critics argue that the billions spent on missions to mars could be better utilised to build infrastructure in developing nations,improve healthcare systems.for example a single mission to mars can cost millions of dollars that fund could eradicate hunger in certain regions.to conclude that Ithe problem on earth are major and serious.i strongly endorse the advancement in space exploration which helps humanity in settelit technology,hospitals homes globally.i believe that space exploration would be a short sighted decision.the technology derived from exploring the universe ultimately provides the tools to manage and protect our planet,making it valuable rather than a wasteful endeavour.
