Reading Report 10

Opinion.

If I got much more convincing information, maybe I would agree with spending money on space. According to NSS (National Space Society), the amount of money spent on “useless” things in USA is bigger than the amount spent on space. Scientists argue that the amount of money spent on space would not be enough for helping people dying or suffering. I don’t think so. I don’t understand why they say that they are looking for a place in space to go in case our planet is in danger. If our planet is danger, what we should do is to care for our planet. There are many people who need help and, with that money, they could be helped. Of course the money is not going to be enough but the problem can be solved by parts. I really like to know about space and stars but that is not going to feed the hungry people nor is it going to cure the sick ones. Maybe it’s true; the amount of money is little but the pollution is not. Human beings are not satisfied with polluting the earth and they also pollute the space; although space is perhaps infinite, it doesn’t dodge the human pollution.
