Space research is a waste of money. The government should spend money on improving conditions of people living on Earth. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

答案
The funding of space exploration was, and still is, a source of constant debate.
Some people claim that the the huge amount of money spent on space research should have been used to make lives better on earth. They might be wondering what the point of studying the universe is when there seem to be an endless litany of problems in our daily lives, such as poverty and famine. Although their concerns need to be acknowledged and understood, I think they are perhaps oversimplifying the situation here; instead, we need to look beyond financial measurements on this issue.
One of the keenest arguments for continuing space research is that it has allowed us to make so many technological advances which have shaped everyday life in the modern world. For example,a multitude of man-made satellites orbiting the earth have offered us a great range of information and functions that are transcending all previous barriers to communication and limits to knowledge .As a result, now we have accurate real-time weather forecast to suggest how we should dress and what activities to plan for the next day; television pictures and radio signals can be achieved 24-hours a day in many places; GPS can unerringly guide us to our destinations; cell phones connect us without heed of geographical boundaries. Therefore, as a matter of fact, we owe much that we have taken for granted in our daily lives to space research.
More importantly, furthering our understanding of how the universe came into being and ultimately how we ourselves came to exist is another huge endeavour that space research contributes to, because the capability to look back on reality’s history means the possibility of looking forward into the future. Obviously, this cannot be measured solely in terms of money.
So personally, I firmly believe that the necessity and significance of exploring outer space is and will always be irreplaceable.
