　　In recent years, NASA has several exciting discoveries in universe, such as the clear picture of Pluto, earth-likeplanet Kepler 452b and the existence of liquid water on Mars. While astronomy lovers are celebrating the groundbreaking findings, some people doubt whether the huge budgets on outer space exploration is well spent, especially when there is news about children from poor families dropping out of school and dying patients failing to afford the expensive medical treatment. From my pointof view, no matter how enormous the expenditures can be, the government investment in space exploration is imperative, viewing from both short term and long term.

　　In the long run, in consideration of the depletion of natural resources on earth, to find other planets, either as resources suppliers or new dwelling places, should be on agenda. It is a seemingly irreversible tendency that the total population on earth will constantly grow, though might be at a slowing rate. Also, the ever progress of economy and improvement of people’s living standard will exacerbate the consumption of natural resources, including fossil fuels and various metals. However, the total storage of natural resources on earth is limited, and some day in future, we have to face the doom that the resources will run out. Before that, measures should be taken so that human civilization will survive. In a word, the predictable future of earth proves the necessities of outer space exploration, and this is exactly what a responsible government with far sight should do.

　　In the short term, the further advancement of satellite in space actually generates immediate benefits for the general public. The past a few decades have witnessed the galloping pace of launching satellite of many governments. Mainly, those satellites serve in the field of communication, military, scientific researches, etc. In the domain of communication, with them functioning as bridges connecting the world, people can have phone calls, whether they are standing in the center of desert or drifting on the sea. In terms of military and scientific researches, they are like the “super eyes” helping people monitor the earth. For example, many satellites are responsible to collect the date of buoys floating on the ocean, allowing scientists to closely monitor the movement of ocean currents and study the influences of global warming on earth.

　　In a nutshell, owing to its benefits on people, be they immediate or far-reaching, governments’ huge expenditure in space exploration is indispensable.

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is a waste of money for a government to fund space travel or space exploration.
