Nowadays, the issue of spending billions dollars on space exploration is aroused intense debates. Some people believe that humanity must spend as more money as possible on space exploration projects every year, whereas others claim that this money should be used to solve problems on Earth.

Personally, I think that governments have to spend more money on solving problems on Earth. Firstly, Earth is full of mysteries and secrets, which people have not solved yet.

They should find these clues before people begin exploring space. Secondly, governments should invest money in solving more pressing problems on Earth such as improving healthcare, protecting the environment or increasing people’s living standards.

Nevertheless, we can find a contrary opinion. Some people are convinced that exploring space is the way to find the second house for humanity in case there will be a disaster on Earth. In their view, space exploration projects require not only government’s investment, but also private money.

There might be some truth in what they say. However, I cannot agree with this. I believe that it is possible to spend money not only on space exploration, but also on solving problems on Earth.

To sum up, I am firmly convinced that solving problems on Earth needs more money than exploring space now irrespective of the opposing opinion. Ignoring important human problems such as poverty, poor healthcare, deadly diseases in favor of space exploration can be detrimental to humanity.
