Space exploration.

The mystery of outer space has always fascinated humanity. Nowadays, scientists from all over the world spend a lot of time and effort in order to explore this mystery. However, we still have other issues to concern about .This raises the question of whether we should keep developing space exploration, or concentrate on solving much more urgent matters first.

On the one hand, humans are very curious creatures, and Outer space is such an unknown, mysterious thing which might be containing breathtaking wonders. We might be very disappointed by letting such wonders remain unknown. Moreover, space exploration improves the quality of our life. For example: the GPS ,The Global Positioning System, that is commonly used today for navigation in private cars, was first invented for the use of space exploration.

On the other hand, space exploration is a very expensive business. Every little step in this field costs ridicules amounts of money, that could be invested in more urgent matters, such as the fight against terror or poverty. In addition, space exploration can be very dangerous. We can hear about a lot of cases in which young astronauts lost their lives tragically, while trying to explore space.

To conclude, space exploration is an important attempt to provide an answer for our growing curiosity, and I believe that even though it might be dangerous and too expensive, we should not let that fact kill our thrill of discovery. However, I do think that we should first concentrate on our more urgent issues, before investing so much effort into space exploration.

This is an excellent piece of work! (100)
