What money should be spent on: space exploration or solving problems on Earth?

[karina_mia]

By Ildar

The Universe has been fascinating people since ancient times. However, should we be wasting so much money on space exploration? Is learning cosmos something we have to be worried about?

In my opinion, it is wrong to spend billions of dollars on space exploration. To begin with, there are so many problems on Earth like poverty, illiteracy, air pollution that learning the Universe fades into the background because only money can solve these issues. Furthermore, space flight, as a method of exploring space, can be dangerous because no one knows what challenges an astronaut will face as soon as he is out of Earth. And finally, the majority of the population is not really interested in the Universal problems so space explorations are rather useless.

On the other hand, some people think that space exploration is very important because it can help find potentially livable planets since the population of Earth continually increases.

I cannot agree with these people. To my mind, the likelihood of detection of livable planets is very low because Earth is a special planet and even if we find an inhabitable planet, we will not adjust to it.

To sum up, I would say that spending money on solving problems on Earth is much more important than wasting it on space exploration. The humanity should focus on education, public health and morality. Space learning is the last thing we should think about because our society is not perfect and there are still so many problems to solve.

In today's world of high - technical invention people spend a lot of money for research our galaxy. There are two opposite opinions about this problem. Many people think that different expedition in space increase people's knowledge. While others claim it is more significant problem which needs financial aid.
Let us consider who is right?

In my opinion, explorationing space is not a sphere which need developing. First of all, nowdays there are many people without home, unexploration disease and alike global problem which should adressed. Secondly, when you spend money for research you do not give a feedback. If money reported to poor and ill people, we will make a first step for improbable world.

On the over hand, many people believe that exploration space is available investments. They consider if people understand our universe, humanitywill have unlimited abilites.

I cannot agree with this statement . People will have unlimited opportunite if we make understant the impotance of human life.

In conclusion I shold say so many people so many oppinio. Doubtless, a sociale problem more impotant things than space researching.

Space exploration is one of the most important branches of science. As we know the price of the experiments people spend for this research is very high. But is it worth to fund the projects of space science?

I think that space research has enormous social and economic value. The results of developments in the field of space technology will find application in the industrial and agricultural work. Besides, by satellite we can listen to the weather forecast. What is more, space research contributes to the expansion of economic and cultural cooperation.

However some people are doubt about the use of investing in this research. Firstly, it is better to use money expended for cosmonautics to improve the quality of life of people in poor countries. Secondly, we may discover something that can be really harmful for the humanity.

I disagree with these people because the results of the study of the human body and human psychology obtained during long-term space flights will be used in everyday medical practice. Moreover, satellites greatly facilitated the search for underground water sources. Finally, it is true that the discoveries can be unsafe, but so we will be able to discover something that may help us to find the ways of global problems’ resolution.

In conclusion, I would like to stress that it is very difficult to overvalue the role of space research in our life. It is able to solve many of our daily problems and to influence positively on all spheres of public life. Largely due to the space exploration we have the opportunity to enjoy a comfortable life.

Я самостоятельно нашел ошибки,проверьте исправленный вариант,пожалуйста.

Some people say that there is no need in spending money on exploration of the universe, and claim to solve basic Earth problems. To tell the truth, that seems reasonable, there are so many troubles around and we have to cope with them.

Our planet in my opinion requires a lot of attention nowadays: wars, pollution, medical industry, social inequality. While rich part of people travels to space and opens new planets, the other has nothing to eat and no place to sleep. It is, obviously, unfair.

We live in a world in which life must be protected not only by laws and by words, but practically. Trillions of dollars are spent on different space trips, why not to use them for love and peace, nature and beauty? Why not to fight with cancer and other strong diseases?

However, some people think that space explorations are vital, they say in future projects may give new sources of energy and bring a lot of profit. These words seem to be one big fraud, because all the resources would be concentrated in the hands of “the strongest” and the poor people would still be poor, wars would continue...

There are different points of view on this problem. Our planet is in our hands, humans. It is up us to decide what to do: help other people or invest in space dust.

Nowadays space exploration is developing very fast. Many countries spend million of dollars on it. But maybe people should spend more money on Earth problems…

I think, space programs are very important. They can solve many problems on Earth. Firstly, such programs create new jobs. Millions of people work in the field of space research. It is the partial solution of the problem of unemployment. Secondly, space research companies pay taxes. It is also very useful for the countries` economics. Thirdly, during the space exploration scientists are making great revelations and inventions. For example, the solar powered refrigerator was invented by NASA some years ago. It was approved by the World Health Organization to provide cooling for vaccines in developing countries.

However, some people claim, the money that people spend on space programs should be spent on support of hungry people, the research of new medicines and environmental protection. Millions of people suffer and the study of stars and planets will not make humanity`s life better.

I cannot agree with these people. If space programs find new planet or the new sources of energy, it will solve many Earth problems. People will have enough food to eat and new place to live. There will not be overpopulation or hunger.

Despite other people`s opinion, I am convinced space programs are the solution of problems on our planet. They help to decrease unemployment and pay money to the state. And maybe one day we will not have the problems of hunger and overpopulation due to space discoveries.

It's reported that billions of dollars are spent on space exploration projects every year. Some people believe that this money should be used to solve problems on Earth.

It is a well-known thing that nowadays a lot of money is spent on the space researches. Some people think that these costs are worthwhile. Others state that the best way of spending billions of dollars is to make life on Earth better.
In my opinion, the future of humanity is hidden somewhere in endless space fields. Firstly, it is not a secret yet that scientists have already proved a slow death of Sun. So, the older Sun becomes the worse conditions Earth’s surface has. Secondly, spending money on space researches we could also discover something important about our planet.
On the other hand, there are many people who claim that some spheres of our social life are lacking of investment. For instance, some of them concern about ecological policy and endangered species’ conservation. They think a lot of money must be allocated to this problem instead of space exploration.
I cannot agree with adherents of the above mentioned idea. Every challenge or difficulty we have on Earth could be caused by some insidious processes in space. Even the global warming has something to do with Sun’s activity.
To sum up, I would say that space is still a huge mystery for people. Some generation will be needed to move into it really far away from Earth to find a new home. Anyway, in order to make our descendants’ lives better and easier we should spend as much money on universe exploration as it possible.

Сочинение:
There has been a dispute whether monetary investment should be used to solve problems on the Earth or can be entirelly spend on space explorations. To my mind, the concern is needee to discuss.
The theme is really actual nowadays. There are 2 groups of people, who maintain opposite attitudes. The first group worries about ecological problems on the Earth and convinced, that it would be better to invest some movements or organisations, associated with keeping our planet alive. I belive, that the people are right. Firstly, fortune of the Earth is becoming worse year by year, but number of ecological problems is increasing. People, who preserved the planet, are not able to deal with it anymore. The USA scientists have ricently declared, that the Earth needs a defense. Another way, some tribulations, like ecological collapse, are unavoidable. Secondly, spacecraft as well as litter tha Space. It also influences on level of ecology.
The second group is sure that the most part of money should be spend on space exploration. The people see endless opportunities that the Space includes. For axample, they hope to remove to another planet, when ours will become exhausted and starved.
However, I do not support the contention. If we ignore problems on the Earth, we will use to do the same with another planets wherever we live. Thats why we must take care of our planet.
In conclusion, I would like to say that money should be asign evently. Of course, there is a necessity of scientific development, but not in prejudice of the Earth.

Nowadays humanity spends a huge amount of money on different explorations in space. Some of them believe that it is the right decision. At the same time, there are those, who think that humanity has more important problems on the Earth. Let us consider what advantages and disadvantages of space explorations are.
To my mind, there are a lot of very serious problems on our planet, and we should solve them. First of all, it is impossible to forget about air pollution. Money can be used to build any environmentally friendly fabrics. Secondly, rich countries can help poor countries. What is more, there is a very dangerous problem of the modern world. It is terrorism. And we need to be protected from it.
However, some people believe that space will help humanity to develop science. They say, that people can get an opportunity to live on other planets. Moreover, when exploring space, it possible to find new sources of energy.
Despite of the fact, that more and more people start dreaming about space, I believe that we should love our planet and take care of it. We should think about what is really important for us.
In conclusion, I want to say that space is very interesting and can be useful for us. But today people have great jewelry which is called the Earth, and we should do our best.

" It's reported that billions of dollars are spent on space exploration projects every year. Some people believe that this money should be used to solve problems on Earth.
What is your opinion? What problems should humanity solve first of all?"

Эссе:

We spend billions of dollars on space exploration. Do we need to study space or do we need to solve earth problems? People's opinions differ on this matter.

It is often difficult to decide which position to take whenever there is a debate regarding a choice between exploration of the universe and solving the earth problems. Almost everything that now mankind has nowadays is produced by science, that’s why I support the contribution of money in space exploration. Firstly, I believe that we need to continue to exploring the space, because this is a very big and important stage in the development of science and humanity in general.
Secondly, thanks to space equipment we can learn the weather forecast and predict different cataclysms.

However, there are plenty of people who say that it is better to solve the problems on the earth, first of all. Unfortunately, we face a great number of problems nowadays: global warming, overpopulation and so on. People pollute lakes, rivers, seas and oceans. The destroy forests and make the air foul.

To some extent it is so, and I can not to disagree with it, but we also cannot stop to explore the space. Firstly, nowadays scientists are searching for water and various forms of life on the Mars, maybe someday we could live there. Secondly, humans - is the way of the cosmos to know itself and if people will stop, it will be one of the biggest mistakes for humanity in general.

In the conclusion, I want to say that we should continue to explore space, but not forget to solve the earth problems. To my mind, people can do without satellite television, but they will die without food, clear water, air ad electricity.
