Group discussion, what are the advantages of space exploration Does space exploration also bring some problems
Discussion
Advantages:
① Being able to understand the origin and evolution of the universe.
② Understand whether there are planets in the universe that can allow people to survive.
③ Space exploration promotes technological progress.
Group discussion, what are the advantages of space exploration Does space exploration also bring some problems
Disadvantages:
① Space exploration requires a significant amount of human, financial, and material
resources from the country.
② Space exploration has produced a large amount of space garbage, which is not conducive
to environmental protection.
Discussion
Discussion
Some people support space exploration because they believe it has brought many benefits to humanity. But some people also believe that there are many problems and risks that can lead to a significant waste of funds. People should pay more attention to issues such as hunger and disease, why not spend more money and energy on these issues What is your idea Why
I think we should support space exploration because space technology has stimulated the development of technologies such as electronics, computers, and GPS.
I think we should stop because we need more funds and energy to help the poor and disabled. Space exploration carries many risks, such as the Challenger accident. And it will produce a lot of space debris.

Countries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time on various space missions,whether to Mars or other planets much further away. Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space. Instead, we should feed the world's poor and find immediate solutions to other problems, such as pollution and fatal diseases However, others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realise how exploring space helps us.

Firstly, exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. It has directly resulted in the many satellites that now orbit Earth. A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns. Then the data is transmitted to scientists on Earth. After careful analysis, the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers. As a result, space-based science has helped Farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth's increasing population.

Secondly, space exploration has already promoted technological improvements that benefit us all. High-end products around the world are made to a higher standard now because of advanced technology which was first created to meet the requirements for space exploration. For example, space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new material. They have also helped companies make better heart monitors and other machines that doctors regularly use.

In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home. The greatest attention at present is on Mars because it is closer to Earth in the future, humans may live on both planets.

30% of students argue that space exploration is not worthwhile and should stop wasting time and money.And the money spent on space exploration can be used to solve the earth’s problems such as starvation and pollution.
On the other hand, 70% of people think space is worth exploring because we have benefited a lot from it,such as using satellites for communication and weather forecast. What’s more, with further space research,we may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day. Also,space research will enable us to find new sources to solve the problem of energy shortages on the earth.
Finally, exploring space brings many different benefits to the world. I think exploring space is worth it. Not only can it promote the development of society but also enrich our life.

B. It is necessary to find a new home for people in space, as the resources on Earth will run out.

Space exploration is a Waste of Time and Money
Everyone gets excited by the news of the most recent space fights,and I too share in people's sense of awe (敬畏) and wonder at the photos from space that we see.
Having said that, it is hard to believe that the high cost of space flight is justified
so that we can get some lovely pictures. We should be spending our money more wisely, on what people need.
I cannot understand spending all this money on expensive research and experiments when so many people need food.Around the world. millions of people are hungry and dying of starvation. On the other hand, we hear on TV that for as little as a dollar a day,a child in Africa can be saved.Considering the billions spent on space travel, it just seems a better investment to feed the hungry.
Practice
Some people argue that someday we will have to go to live in space because the world will be made impossible to live in through pollution. This seems silly. When your house gets dirty, you spend the time and money cleaning it up. You don't move house simply because you need to wash your windows or vacuum the floor. In the same way,it makes more sense to use our time and money to take care of our planet, rather than look for a new home.
Practice
Finally, there are a lot of unsolved mysteries on Earth. So why are we going into space to explore There are still many things to discover in the ocean depths and the Antarctic. But we do not even have to go that far: Science has yet to unlock all the mysteries of the atom, and there are many realms of technology that we are just beginning to understand and explore.
In the end, it just does not seem a very wise investment to go to space. We have too many needs here on Earth to be wasting our effort on space exploration.

【答案】范文一
Recently we have held a heated discussion about the problem whether mankind should explore space or not.Different people about it has different opinions.
Some people hold the view that space exploration will not only enable us to understand how the universe develop but also help farming to grow more food and apply the new technology to our life. While other people argue that we should stop exploring space because it costs too much time and money.
From my point of view，it is very necessary for human to explore space.Because it not only can provide the world with many different benefits，but also can solve people's short term and long term problems.

Space Exploration Is a Waste of Time and Money
Everyone gets excited by the news of the most recent space flights, and I too share in people’s sense of awe and wonder at the photos from space that we see. Having said that, it is hard to believe that the high cost of space flight is justified. We should be spending our money more wisely, on what people need.
I cannot understand spending all this money on expensive research and experiments when so many people need food. Around the world, millions of people are hungry and dying of starvation.
On the other hand, we hear on TV that for as little as a dollar a day, a child in Africa can be saved. Considering the billions spent on space travel, it just seems a better investment to feed the hungry.
Besides, there are a lot of unsolved mysteries on the earth. So why are we going into space to explore There are still many things to discover in the ocean depths and the Antarctic. But we do not even have to go that far. Science has yet to unlock all the mysteries of the atom, and there are many realms of technology that we are just beginning to understand and explore.
Finally, it just doesn’t seem a very wise investment to go to space. We have too many needs here
on the earth to be wasting our effort on space exploration.
