▶ Your Answer : Some people think that
governments should fund space exploration. However, I disagree with the idea it
is helpful for the governments to fund space travel or space exploration
for the following two reasons. First, the governments don’t have enough money
to support space exploration financially. Second, researchers
are already supported by the resaerchers’ companies
First of all, there is no
money for governments to spend on space exploration. What this means is that the revenue of
governments generally comes from the people’s taxes, so they should
prioritize where to spend the money on wisely. There are important issues such
as health, the environment and education that need more government funding.
Although space exploration is helpful for the economy, health, education, and environments
are more important factors affecting the economy. According to a recent survey
done by JYP institute of education, there are many urgent and critical problems
that are still waiting for government funding. We need more hospitals and
schools as well as protecting the wild animals that are being perished all
around the world, but the current funding is inadequate to meet all the needs
especially in this tough economic situation. This clearly shows that
government should not support space exploration due to the lack of money.
Second, governments are not
responsible for supporting scientific research. This is because scientific research is
already well supported by other places such as universities and private
companies. Thus, governments don’t need to be an additional supporter
especially if it has no practical use. Let me bring up my personal story as an
example. I am currently working as an engineer at a large
corporation in Korea. My job is to come up with innovative ideas and create equipment for
space exploration. Most of my ideas and sample
items that is useful in space will never be used, but I continue to
research because I’m getting paid for it by the company which is a space company.
Once they decide on an equipment and start using the items when they fire their
rocket to the space. Hence, there is absolutely no need for extra funding from
the government for my research.
In conclusion, governments
have to focus on other important things. Scientists already have gotten funding
from companies. In this regard, I agree with the idea that what governments
support space travel or space exploration is a waste of money.
