Summary

Does the government spend too much money on space exploration?...

Description

Space exploration is more in need for money than the military. The government spends a ton of money on the military, on getting better guns or weapons. In my opinion, it would be much better use of their money to spend on the unknown. It's also part of our education to .learn about the things we don't know about

With satellites we can communicate with anyone at almost any point on Earth. However, some feel that spending huge amounts of taxpayer money on space . exploration is a waste of funds

But, as space exploration has many benefits, it also has many downsides. The important one is, it costs greatly. In 2016, the budget for only NASA was over $19.3 millions and it would only take about $30 billion to end world hunger. the United States could eradicate about 60% of the world’s hunger on its own with a simple shift of monetary resources. Another one is, we may not like what we find. It would be illogical to assume that every space-faring species is naturally peaceful. In space, we may even find new microorganisms that are incredibly lethal. But, even with both . sides having different views space exploration will continue

In conclusion, I think that Space exploration is worth the trouble and the money. But, . governments should also spend money on the right thing...
