There have been a lot of arguments about space exploration. Some scientists say that it will give people tremendous benefits to exploit outer space. However, as far as I`m concerned, I strongly argue that governments should spend their funds on solving the earth matters. First, there are still so many problems in the earth. Second, we can`t sure the success of exploration to space.
Above all, we have a number of troubles to solve in our planet. As civilization develops, human beings begin to face many terrible situations, such as pollutions, shortage of food, and global warming. As a result, the quality of life has been falling downward, and so many people around the world are being badly affected by that. A recent study shows that for decade or two, the living environment of the earth has been greatly worsen. Statistics show that a lot of people living in undeveloped and developing countries are suffering from starving. Moreover, it show that those living in developed countries are suffering from pollutions. Overall, the planet is very sick because of its hot temperature. For this reason, I believe government should first consider making the earth more convenient for humans to live.
On top of that, the exploration to space doesn`t guarantee the human`s succession. Many people are so interested in extraterrestrials, but we can`t not sure whether they are suitable to live in or not. Let me take the Mars as an example. As science and technology has improved, we started to go and seek other planets where we can live in the future. The Mars was once believed to be a appropriate place to build another human civilization, but recent researches show that there are little chance of water and so thin layers of atmosphere that people can not live there even for a month! In addition to that, so much money are squandered to try to discover many facts. With that money, a lot of people could be saved living on earth, and many problems could be better. As you can see, exploration to outer space is just for people`s interest, never will it give us profits.
In short, I totally insist that government should take the matters we have in this world into more consideration, because many problems on earth don`t seem to be solved yet and we can`t depend our bright future on other planets. Some people might say I have too narrow perspective. However, there is an old saying, "너무 앞만 보면 정작 가까운걸 볼 수 없다.“. We have to think about this proverb.
