The Essay about Space Exploration The next topic I'd like to discuss is space exploration. It sounds like that: Space exploration requires vast sums of money. Is the amount of money spent on space research justifiable? Could the money be better spent? This theme is interesting for me as I'm fond of everything related to cosmos, planets and stars. I watch a lot of feature and documentary films about it and also read recent news about space exploration. That's why I decided to write about it. It would be interesting for me to read your thoughts about it. People at all times desired to understand our place on the Earth and to find the meaning of the life. For that reason, they also wanted to explore space which seemed to keep secrets about it. But as the time passed by, the research of cosmos has become more complex and, therefore, more expencive. So is there a relevant reason to continue an exploration of outer space or is it a waste o money? Some people believe that there is no sense invest so much money to cosmic research because, firstly, there are more urgent issues that need to be funded, like starvation, global warming or health problems. Secondly, they consider that huge amounts of money spend on cosmic needs doesn't bring benefit to the general public. However, there is also an opposite point of view. I believe that investments to space exploration can be justified. First of all, government control the money and there's no guarantee that if they save up money from cosmos research they will give it to poor people or to health-care workers. It's very likely that we will not see any changes anyway. Secondly, I'm absolutely convinced that space exploration is in the interest of everybody because we need to have an idea in what world we live, how huge it is and what is hidden from us. In conclusion, I want to say that big amounts of money spend on space exploration is a good investment as it explains a lot of eternal questions and helps us to understand ourselves.
