it is better for goverments to spend their funds on the exploration of outer space than on earthly matters. agree? disagree? |
"I really don't understand why people are so enthusiastic about Lee Sohyeun" my younger sister, Meesung said when the whole Korea was focusing on the birth of the first Korean astronut, Lee. Then, she added that Korean government and its people should be more conscious about the domestic problems such as poverty, crime and education. Likewise, many people urge that the government should put efforts on earthly matters rather than useless and fantastic space exploration. However, I believe that it's ultimately beneficial for mankind to adventure the outer space for two reasons; to ensure more resources and to enjoy leisure. First, the government should spend their funds on space exploration as it enables human beings to get unlimited amount of energy. For the last century, humans have overused natural resources such as fossil fuels. Many scientists are striving to develop alternative energies that can replace coal. Yet, still there's no clear solutions. Thus, by exploring other planets and exploiting their resources we can sustain our industry and culture. According to "Space, the Future" space has immesureable amount of energies. Thus, for the long term, it's worthy for governments to invest on the space. Furthermore, people can add diversity to life by exploring the space. As the standard of living increases, many people pursue to enjoy their lesiure time in a clean and tranquil places. Space is the utmost place for todays' people to take a rest. It's new, mysterious and always intrigues people's curiosity. Through traveling the space and looking at beautiful scenery of the space, people will be capable of having wider perspectives and enjoying more animated life. Lee Sohyeun already said that it was awsome experience to travel the space and she hopes to others to enjoy such fun. Thus, the government can provide more exciting life for people through consistent investment on the outer space. In conclusion, many people still insist that the most important thing that the government should focus is the domestic problems. That's may be true considering the severe poverty in Africa or human right invasion in North Korea. However, spending money and efforts on the outer space offers human being abilities to retain our culture, industry and achievement. Plus, it also makes life be more interesting. Therefore, I strongly suggest that governments should focus on space explorations. |
