Nowadays countries are spending incredible amount of money on space explorations because the space is tempting. Is really the space like in our dreams? Should we go on with the explorations?

To start with, people have always been curious about space. They want to satisfy their curiosity. Secondly, it is a possibility that there are other living creatures in space. We should meet them. Moreover, we can also find new places to live. Last but not the least, by space explorations we also benefit in daily aspects. The invention of many daily used tools were done while making space explorations. For example; Fire-fighting equipment, ear thermometre, hi-tech ski boots …etc.
On the other hand, many countries are spending too much money on space explorations and many people think that this is really bad for their countries’ economies. The money that they spend on space explorations should be spent on their countries’ health and educational systems or for countries in need. In fact, we haven’t discovered our earth thoroughly yet, we could be more involved in this issue. Furthermore, since the explorations started a great deal of effort and money was spent on this issue but not big breakthrough hasn’t been seen yet.
All in all, the countries are so much into competing to discover the space that they don’t recognize what a great deal of money they are spending. If the money they spend would be taken under control of course space explorations could certainly be done.
