It is reported that billions of dollars are spent on space exploration projects every year. Some people believe that this money should be used to solve problems on Earth.
People are explorers by nature and space has always attracted them. But is it wise to spend so much money on space exploration projects when we have so many problems on Earth?
In my opinion, space exploration is very important to mankind. Firstly, satellites are used for radio, television, and other electronic communication. Satellite television provides us with a great number of channels, mobile phones facilitate communication, GPS that uses radio signals from satellites can show you your exact position on the Earth. Secondly, thanks to space equipment we can learn the weather forecast and predict different cataclysms. What is more, people have always dreamed of reaching other planets and finding other forms of life. So I think that the more money is spent on space exploration projects, the more people learn about the universe and their own planet.
On the other hand, a lot of people say that it is better to solve the problems on Earth first of all. Unfortunately, we face a great number of problems nowadays: environmental pollution, the greenhouse effect, global warming, acid rain, ozone depletion, overpopulation and many others. People pollute lakes, rivers, seas and oceans. They destroy forests, kill rare animals, pick up herbs and flowers, envenom soil and make the air foul. The world's population increases faster than the food supply. Each year millions of deaths occur from starvation, especially in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
To conclude, I think we must solve problems on Earth first. To my mind, people can do without satellite television, but they will hardly be able to live without food, clean drinking water, fresh air or electricity.
