问题     Billions of money has been spent on the space research. Some people say that it should be spent in improving the living standard.
    Do you agree or disagree?
选项
答案     It has been almost forty years since Armstrong proudly uttered, "That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Indeed, it is worthwhile to celebrate such a feat for human beings since space research of the moon-landing was totally unbelievable in the past. Some people, however, maintain that life is the same without any dramatic change. I strongly doubt the validity of this statement.
    Without the exploration of unknown places, human beings can never solve the alarming energy crisis. Economic development around the world has accelerated the demand for energy substantially, which leads to resources crisis on the earth. If there is no petrol, coal or natural gas for humans, then the day of destruction will not be a fairy tale. Space research provides mankind with chances of locating new resources, something like water and minerals indispensable to humans.
    Moreover, successful research in outer space encourages people to be more adventurous, and that valuable spirit is essential to historical advance. From barbarian states to modern civilizations, no progress can be achieved without exploring unknown places and the invention of airplanes is the best example. If humans, who have long yearned to fly in the sky like birds, fail to engage themselves in daunting experiments, it is not hard to imagine that long-distance travel can only be realised in people’s wildest dreams.
    Indeed, space research means tremendous investment from national purse, causing due alarm from people. It is not a secret that billions of money has to be spent making sure a successful launch of satellites or spacecrafts. The possibility of new resources and the boost of people’s morale, however, justify such a considerable input.
    Obviously, only through space research, can people live a truly decent life. Meanwhile, it is a must that this research should not serve a military purpose, and benefiting humans is the prerequisite.
