Fossil and renewable energy resources

Space exploration:

Advantages

• science can develop because of space exploration, and scientists may find the cure to deadly diseases
• new energy resources may be discovered, and the environment could be more protected, and our resources could be utilised more efficiently
• we can get a total understanding of past and present, and make predictions about the future of mankind by travelling into space
• other planets might be made suitable for human life, so in case of an impendig disaster, humanity might find a new habitat
• many new jobs can be created by space exploration which normally offer very high salaries
• mankind may be relocated to other planets if the earth gets too overpopulated



Disadvantages

• many people tend to think this is an utter waste of money, while education, healthcare and infrastrucure has to deal with extreme financial difficulties
• space exploration costs too much, that money could be spent on 3^rd world countries, where people starve to death
• this money could also be used to develop living conditions of people such as and safety, because people need safety more than knowledge about space
• space life would only be available to the richest people on earth, so the gap between rich and poor would get even wider
• the country which establishes the first space settlement may become a superpower, which can threaten less well-to-do nations
