Space exploration!, or not?

Since the late 1950's and (the) early 1960's the question of space travel and exploration has been debated. As technology developed, the issue whether to go out into space and spend so much time or whether to stay here, on eath(sp. - Earth) and explore earth has been interesting(gr. - interested) the researchers for a long time.

On the plus side there are advantages to space exploroution, such as searching for knowledge and expanding the bounds of the human experience. Furthemore, the search for knowledge may improve the quality of our lives like, for example finding water on other planets.


On the minus side(On the other hand) , going into space is a terrible waste of time, money and human resources because the spaceship's take-off needs a lot of fuel which cost(gr.) a lot of money . In addition, traveling to space is very dangerous and may risk human lives. For example, the late astronaut Ilan Ramon who lost his life in the 2003 delegation called "Colombia". Moreover, what's the point in space exploration if there are so many things we have not explored yet on Earth, such as finding new anergy (sp.) sources, a cure for Cancer and AIDS, or finding a solution to global warming.

In conclusion, I think that the main question is why not keep on exploring life on Earth instead of space. However, space exploration is important and so I suggest to explore space without risking human lives by sending robots that can explore the(מיותר) space.

This is better. Good work! (90)
