It is generally said that governments should spend as much money as possible exploring outer space such as traveling to the moon and to other planets. Some people migth agree with this idea because there might exist extraterrestrial life. However, I disagree with this idea for a couple of reasons. In this essay, I will cleary show and develop these two reasons.
First of all, I think that exploring outer space is just time-wasting. This is mainly because during a few decades, many scientists try to find some alines but there were no results. To be specific, we squandered astronomical money and got any outcomes except for the cosmos is really large. From my personal example, I was actually looking forward to hear that the scientists find some interesting life or organism outside of the Earth, but all the news that I gathered always disappoined me. This is one of the reasons that I do not think exploring outer space is essential.
In addition, there are a lot of basic needs on Earth governments should spend their money such as helping poverty countries, so I surely believe that the wealthy countries need to assist them. To give you an idea, I will take my personal experience as an example. When I high school student, I have been to Ghana as an medical volunteer; I spend one month aiding doctors. At that time, I realize that there are plenty of poor countries and people, so many power countries must to support these countries. I am very thankful to help Ghanaians. This is another reason that I cannnot advocate the space exploration.
To summarize what I mentioned above, I strongly believe that governments should stop their exploting outer space. The reasons behind this is that exploring outer space is neither necessary nor urgent. All things considered, there is no doubt in my mind that governments should more focus on our vital demends on Earth. |
