Every year people waste billions of dollars on space exploration which is not a good thing to do. NASA and other organizations waste time and money, and in doing so, spend valuable resources on space exploration.  We need the money and the resources,Some people survive on less than two dollars and we could use that money to help people with poverty, We need the money that they spend on fuel for the military, the government, and construction, and We also should focus on exploring our own planet, such as the deep blue sea and the jungles.

Thesis statement

300035102 — 2022-03-07 21:38:15 UTC

We should not spend valuable resources on space exploration because we need the money for poor people who are struggling in poverty, we could use the money for the military, the government, and construction. We should also focus on exploring the world that We know, such as the ocean and the jungle.

Reason 1

I think that we should not spend money on space exploration because about 9.2% of all the people on the planet struggle with poverty, that's 689 million people. NASA has spent 250,000 gallons of fuel on space exploration and it equals up to almost a TRILLION dollars spent on the space shuttle, the international space station, and fuel. With that fuel and that sort of money, we could make the world a better place by using that money to work on poverty, and make it so that we could improve people's lives.

Reason 2

300035102 — 2022-03-08 21:40:19 UTC

I am 101% confident that we should not spend valuable resources on space exploration because NASA is spending huge sums of money when we could just use it to improve our world as we know it such as gas prices, hunger, communism, terrorism, racism, feminism, and other horrible labels that are destroying our home as we know it.

Reason 3

300035102 — 2022-03-09 15:16:17 UTC

We should pay more attention to our planet and not space because our planet is trashed, so why are we going to mars where there's kinda no proven life when we could visit other places completely shrouded with life. Now the question is how to do this, well we could start by not exploring other-worldly things and focusing on what's at hand which is the environment and the pollution, and also Elon Musk is thinking of these grand ideas, but why can't he think of something that benefits us and our ecosystem?

Counter claim

300035102 — 2022-03-09 21:01:19 UTC

There is some good in going to space too though, it improves healthcare, creates jobs, it helps us with cooperating with other countries, enhances safety, and makes scientific discoveries. Oh the discoveries we could make through space exploration and what it could do to improve our role as helping our home that even now we still face.

Conclusion

300035102 — 2022-03-09 21:19:55 UTC

In conclusion, space exploration is the key to stopping major problems, not by doing explorations but by stopping them.  By putting a stop to these explorations, we could save more money, more fuel, stop huge problems such as poverty, racism, and feminism, we could also help the world by paying more attention to what we humans, in general, are doing which is pollution and poverty. People don't know what they're doing in encouraging space exploration but we should not spend our valuable resources on space exploration.
