note(this is pretty short)

You at least have heard this question once: should money be put on space exploration?

Well, there are pros and cons for everything, and that's true for space exploration as well.

Chapter one Cons

Human lifespan is short compared to the time it takes to get to most planets for example Jupiter or Pluto or something. Space debris is a giant problem because a hit on a spaceship could be a disaster that could take billions of dollars to fix, but at the moment there's no space exploration program that can actually solve the problem. So instead of sending ships into space, maybe we should think about how to bring some of them back or build space elevators.

Now the PRos

All the money NASA spent on the project SMAP (900 million dollars)can feed Africa for less than a day but SMAP can predict droughts and other disasters before they occur and that improves life on earth.

My opinion

We should spend money on space exploration even though we have problems on earth,

but when we explore space, we gain information that can help us on earth. We should spend a bit but not too much. Will we get something back? We'll never know if we don't try in the first place.
