问题     More than four decades ago, man for the first time set foot on the moon. Some people think that space research is a waste of energy and money.
    Discuss and give your opinion.
选项
答案     It is an undeniable fact that it has been over forty years since man’s first landing on the moon, and his fascination with outer space has a much longer history than that. Some people believe that this type of study is a sheer waste of time and money. However, in my opinion, this issue has both pros and cons, and it should not be judged one-sidedly.
    On one hand, it indeed requires a great deal of time and money to train people to carry out research work in this sphere, to put the research into actual practice, and to sustain countless test failures. In addition, doubtlessly the time and money spent on space research and exploration is hard to calculate, as it is carried out by several nations. From this perspective, the research in question can be considered a waste of time, money and resource.
    One the other hand, however, once the research findings are transformed into productivity, we will see the situation in a different sight. For example, knowledge of other planets and stars may make possible the colonization of space. At that time, the expenditure that seems so wasteful now will serve to expand and extend the scope of human existence. Currently, the progress made by scientists who have dedicated much time and energy to this research has demonstrated this point clearly and forcefully.
    In short, it truly takes a lot of time and money to carry out studies of outer space, for such research tests man’s intelligence, patience and perseverance to the utmost, long before any concrete results are visible. Nevertheless, people of vision will indubitably recognise the abundant benefits to be reaped once the research is completed and its findings are put into production.
