The money spent by governments on space programmes would be better spent on
vital public services such as schools and hospitals.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Governments in some countries spend large amounts of money on space exploration
programmes. I completely agree with the idea that these are a waste of money, and that
the funds should be allocated to public services.
There are several reasons why space programmes should be abandoned. Firstly, it is
extremely expensive to train scientists and other staff involved with space missions, and
facilities and equipment also come at a huge cost to the government. Secondly, these
programmes do not benefit normal people in our daily lives; they are simply vanity projects
for politicians. Finally, many missions to space fail completely, and the smallest
technological error can cost astronauts their lives. The Challenger space shuttle disaster
showed us that space travel is extremely dangerous, and in my opinion it is not worth the
risk.
I believe that the money from space programmes should go to vital public services instead.
It is much cheaper to train doctors, teachers, police and other public service workers than
it is to train astronauts or the scientists and engineers who work on space exploration
projects. Furthermore, public servants do jobs that have a positive impact on every
member of society. For example, we all use schools, hospitals and roads, and we all need
the security that the police provide. If governments reallocated the money spent on space
travel and research, many thousands of people could be lifted out of poverty or given a
better quality of life.
In conclusion, my view is that governments should spend money on services that benefit
all members of society, and it is wrong to waste resources on projects that do not improve
our everyday lives.
