Space exploration is too expensive, and money should be spent on more important things. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Space has always been a fascinating subject of science, and many nations budget billions of money to study more about the universe. However, some people argue that this amount should be utilized for other purposes, most beneficial to the common man. I could not accord with this argument and this essay illustrates the reasons for my view.

One key reason of my stand is, the imminent danger hidden in the endless vacuum outside the earth's atmosphere. For example, the theory says obliteration of dinosaurs happened by the collision of a meteor. Similarly, the human population is so widespread around the globe, that a hit from any such huge celestial object may annihilate majority of the civilization. It is the duty of governments to protect people, by conducting more exploratory operations in the space to identify any possible threats.

Another added advantage of space study is weather forecasting. Science is so advanced, that with the help of satellites, we can predict the chances of occurrence of natural calamities. Even though, a handsome of money is spent to launch satellites into outer space, which some critics blame as wastage of resources, it is indisputable that early detection of critical climatic conditions is very important, to save life and savings of millions of people who might be affected. Cyclone warnings, for instance, help authorities to take necessary action to relocate people from the danger-area. Since such forecasts are the result of man's quest to reach space, spending time and money for such studies can never be a loss.

From what has been discussed in the essay, we may safely draw the conclusion that, expenses incurred with space-researches are essential to mankind. I would suggest that, being financially stable, developed countries should focus more on such activities, than developing countries.
