Space exploration is costly... There is a debate going on in the classroom about space exploration. 9 Government Opposition The human exploration of space has not only cost a great deal of manpower and resources, but also has resulted in many accidents that had caused the deaths of several astronauts. And there are many people in the world who are currently struggling with hunger, and the expenses generated by exploring space could bail them out. Human exploration of any field is not immune to sacrifice. It is these experiences that have helped mankind to continue to progress, thereby minimizing further sacrifices and losses. The various technologies developed by mankind to overcome the difficulties in the process of space exploration have led to the development of various fields and solved many real-life problems, actually facilitating people's lives. Which side of the argument do you support? 10 Reading 03 11 What take this picture? A NASA satellite Will it cost much to make and launch such a satellite?

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. n. 地球，世界 vt. & vi. 争吵, 辩论 adj. 浅的；肤浅的 Reading for details 1 2 Different points Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space. Others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realize how exploring space helps us. Topic sentence View 1 View 2 15 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.

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. Today, space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries, and everyday products, such as memory foam pillows and smartphone cameras, are changing our lives.

Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realise that our planet's resources are limited. 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.
