All of our conflicts, political battles, successes, failures, love, loss, and life occur on this one-tenth of a pixel.

This is a lengthy process, which required huge funds and time. First of all, many of the technologies we take for granted today were originated thanks to space research. Carl Sagan suggested that Voyager 1 take a picture of Earth while it was 4 billion miles away at more than 30 degrees above the ecliptic plane. I believe that helping and improving living … Many developing and developed countries are spending huge amounts of money on space exploration. There is no point in going to space, as nothing can be achieved there. However, I completely disagree with this opinion for two reasons. Before we spend all the space exploration money on helping with extreme poverty and famine around the world, let’s do something really radical and take the money we’re already spending on poverty and famine, and actually spend it on poverty and famine. One is not only investing in merely ‘visits to outer space’ when funding and supporting space exploration (The US Space Program Benefits, n.d.). This amount should be spent on other problems. It is safer to stay on Earth and help the needy. The government should spend money on saving this planet first rather than using it to find another planet to waste. But most space programmes are designed to get satellites into Earth’s orbit for the sake of better communications, mapping, weather observation or military capacity at home. Also, 18 astronauts have died because of flight incidents. Is it right to spend money on space exploration when people on our own planet are in dire need of aid? We could spend our money on that instead of spending it on space exploration. In that image, our planet appears as a 0.12 pixel crescent. On the contrary, I even believe that by working for the space program I can make some contribution to the relief and eventual solution of such grave problems as poverty and hunger on earth… Space Exploration: At What Cost? People argue that space exploration is a waste of time and money. Let’s insist that any money we spend here on poverty and hunger be linked to socially responsible behavior: no drugs, no irresponsible sex, … We can see humanity in a different way with space exploration. Before one can criticise the efforts invested in space exploration, particularly monetary efforts, one must understand the underlying beneficial societal impact that is associated with investing time and money in space exploration. There is an argument that exploring space is a waste of money and that there are more urgent needs to be addressed on earth, such as reducing poverty and preventing environmental destruction. They are keenly interested in finding out the existence of life on galaxies and stars.
