美文呈现
Recently, our class had a heated discussion about whether we need space exploration.
There are a majority of students who believe that space exploration has more advantages. Many new products, such as weather and communication satellites, are products of space programs, and they have benefited people all over the world.
However, others think that it is a waste of time and money to explore space. They point out the fact that it has cost billions of dollars to carry out the space research, but there have been many mysteries with little information brought back.
In my opinion, though space exploration is a challenge to human beings, it is worth it.
