waste instead of wasting18.11.2019 (Day 11)

Many people consider that spending money on space exploration or terraforming other planets is a complete waste of money because we have countless problems on Earth. Other people, especially from developed countries, think that space exploration is an extremely significant thing nowadays. Consequently, a view on space flights divides people into 2 warring groups.

The first ones live in a moment so they're strongly convinced that money could be better spent on other causes like fighting cancer or delivering food for African people to the poorest countries. Their point is there is no sense in solving interstellar problems if we are not able to solve earthly ones. They persue a policy of solving a little more down-to-earth problems but don't want to think about future generations.

The second group are confident that mankind has to think about the next generations. Some people even believe that Earth is already lost hence we have to find another planet to live on as soon as possible. Others just want to know what is beyond our atmosphere, how black holes work, reach the planets from the furthest galaxies.

There are so many unsolved problems in the world: incurable diseases, starving people, wars, climate changes and so on. If we were able to solve them, it would be an unbelievable success. But sometimes we could look to the future to ensure the life of our descendants, develop science, make remarkable discoveries even if it costs a huge amount of our money.
