Hi! Would you like to be an astronaut if you could be one? Well, today's topic is "Space exploration is a waste of money."
Well, I think that they are a waste of money. Most space explorations have led to failures, either unmanned or manned. There are just too many problems pieces could fall out, the engine could fail, there could be a hole, or the engine could blow up. And that's just a few that could happen. You may say, mistakes and accidents happen, just try again. But these aren't just $20 science fair rockets, they cost millions of billions of dollars. They also cost human lives, it's not cheap to build those rockets. NASA was founded "during" the cold war, this means that NASA was founded because of rivalry. But we don't have that rivalry anymore. NASA also lost many valuable lives, one of the most famous being Challenger. I don't think the United States of America has to lose any additional amount of money or any more lives because of this old rivalry. I'm not saying that they should shut off NASA, I think space exploration is a good way to get more information about space. But I think space exploration is and it will be a waste of money unless they change. I think NASA has to be more careful when they launch spaceships or satellites, either manned or unmanned. Challenger failed because even the engineer said it was going to fail but people didn't listen and commenced the launch, a total of 7 people/astronauts died.
To sum up, conclude, or summarize all the pieces of information from this essay or topic, I think that it is a waste of money, too many people lost their lives. NASA uses about $25.2 billion every year. This is a lot, and lots of spaceships and satellites have failed, wasting millions of billions of dollars. But they should not shut down space exploration because they make a lot of scientific discoveries and help people understand more about space. But they should be more cautious when sending spaceships to space.
