IELTS Exam - Space Exploration

There are two economic reasons why I support the invitations to stop spending money on the space exploration. First of all, this money is enough to solve the poverty problem for the country's people and all people around the world. For example, there are many hungry people who could be fed and there are many cold people who could be clothed. Second, the money could be utilized to provide a higher quality of life for the people of the country. This should be done as long as the governments can use money to build suitable accommodations for people who live in poor towns where the buildings are very ancient.* Furthermore, they can also build schools and universities around the country to provide their services for free as we know that many students take loans to cover their study expenses.

As well as the economic reasons, there is a reason related to the scientific research and development. The resource should be used to develop solutions for human's problems**. For example, scientist may focus in discovering medicine for rampant diseases and epidemics such as AIDS. In addition, they may develop technologies to treat sea water at [a] lower cost instead of the very expensive way which is used now.

To sum up, there are many fields worth funding more than space exploration.*** Therefore, I support the invitations to decrease the government investment in space exploration.

[ * When you start a sentence with "As long as" it requires a response later on in the sentence. For example: As long as I am tired I will not exercise. An example using your sentence: As long as the governments can use money ... where buildings are very ancient, then they should do so.

 ** Or: "for human problems."

 *** Another option here is to use a colon: "To sum up: There are ...". When using a colon you can optionally capitalize the next word as starting a new sentence or leave it uncapitalized as a continuation of the current sentence.
