If we didn't spend so much money on space exploration we would still have over seventy percent of the world's oceans unexplored, we would be putting less money into space exploration and more into ending poverty, and we need to protect endangered species rather than explore the planets that, as far as we know, can't sustain life at all.]]> 2022-03-07 21:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082587376 300043668 https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082587619 If we didn't spend so much money on space exploration we would still have over seventy percent of the world's oceans unexplored, we would be putting less money into space exploration and more into ending poverty, and we need to protect endangered species rather than explore the planets that, as far as we know, can't sustain life at all.]]> 2022-03-07 21:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082587619 300043668 https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082587995 What is the point of exploring space, a place we can't live in, when our oceans are eighty percent unexplored? If we can't take care of our own planet, the 70 percent of it that's water, then why should we start exploring new ones?]]> 2022-03-07 21:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082587995 300043668 https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082588119 There's no point in going off our planet if we're just going to ignore all the people suffering in poverty. The budget on space exploration is incredibly high, despite people who live on Earth with us living in poverty. There are around 1.8 billion people on Earth living on less than 3.20 per day. A lot of people live in poverty because]]> 2022-03-07 21:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082588119 300043668 https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082588364 We pollute our oceans despite them making up 70% of Earth.
We pollute the air we breathe even though we need it, and instead of trying to fix it, we're spending even more resources on space travel. Pollution can be stopped, but many people don't want to stop what they're doing. Stopping pollution is important because]]> 2022-03-07 21:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082588364 300043668 https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082596585 Many people say that without space travel, there wouldn't be important things like gps, accurate weather predictions, and the like, and I agree, to a point. Yes, those technologies are useful, but that should be what space travel is primarily. If space travel were mainly about furthering our technology with useful things like gps, then it would be a good use of money. However, since the purpose of space travel is mainly exploration, it is wasted money. What's the point of exploring unlivable areas when we should be exploring where we live already?]]> 2022-03-07 21:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082596585 300043668 https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082596860 In conclusion, we shouldn't spend valuable resources like oil, gas, and money on space exploration because we need to take care of ourselves and the Earth first. We pollute the oceans and continue on looking around space like it's gonna solve our problems despite the fact that, so far, the only planet that we know can sustain life is our own. We need to take care of Earth and the people in it since, as of 2021, approximately 1.8 billion people live in poverty with wages under 3.20 a day. We should not be spending our resources, resources we got from Earth, on exploring space when we need to take care of Earth and the plants and animals that live on it.]]> 2022-03-07 21:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/300043668/Bookmarks/wish/2082596860
