Those who are too much progressive might say that governments should make another outstanding progress exploring out space, but I think it is time to have self-reflecion before make another discovery. Thus, I disagree with the statement in that there are more urgent matter than exploring the space: to fulfill human baisic needs and to conserve the environmet.
To begin wih, saving human live is definately more imperative than any other problems on the Earh.
In a sense, it is true that we are living in an affluent material society. Thus, obesity become main health probloms regarless of ages and excessive consumpion is encouraged to follow modern trend. However, we can't deny that this glamorous life is confined only to the upper classes of countries. Still some poor people are suffered form starvation and some homeless people are diying on the streets at the very monent. To illustrate, accoring to a shocking news released by UNICEF, nearly one-third of children in the southern and eastern Africa are severly malnourished and dying of illness such as diarrhea which can be easily cured with sufficient provisions of medicine and hospital treatment. Therefore, the world should focus its attention on the lives of these innocent children rather than explring unknown lives on other planet.
In addition, restoring the demaged environment is a much more pressing issue than exploring outer space.
This is largely becuase clean air and water are indispensable to the survival of bothe humans and animals. Under the pretext of the indestrialism and agriculturism, our society has being destoyed the nature. Although governments has contributed to develop a cinvillized society, this too much fast develpment is bringing a coutless of other problems. Companis are not only mindlessly relaseing toxic substances into river, but also emitting exhaust gas into air. In a ddition, as society is becoming Urbanized, people cut a road through hills and cut a countlesstrees. Given that natural resources is essential for human to survive in the earth and demaged environment also result in casteric desaster like fools or landslike, governments should solved the prolems of envirionment before it is too late to solve it.
In summary, I object that governments are firstly concern about outer space rather than earthly meatters becuase they have not solved more pressing issues in lack of nessacity and envirionment pollution.
