THW ban space exploration

On side Opposition, we agree that helping the poor is important, and we agree that we should invest in poverty alleviation as well as solving earthly problems. But we believe that banning space exploration is a terrible idea considering the enormous benefits and promise that space exploration brings.So let us move on to our arguments.1. So to our first argument is that investment in space exploration leads to innovative technological development.The important thing we have to acknowledge is that the space exploration program is the collection of the best technologies around the world because space exploration is so challenging and sophisticated. And because of this, space exploration has resulted in major technological developments that have made a huge difference for billions of people around the world.For example, solar panels that the world currently uses for harvesting clean solar energy was created by the U.S. space exploration program. Astronauts have to travel long distances and spaceships can only carry limited amounts of fuel. SO the first developments in viable solar panels were from the space exploration program as it was the best way to ensure traveling long distances. Solar panels, today, are making a major difference in producing clean energy on earth.Moreover, NASA's John Space Center has also recently created a solar regrigerator that doesn't need electricity. Right now, 2 billion people on earth have no access to electricity, which is why they can't use refrigerators. And without refrigerators, huge amounts of food easily rot and is a major contributor to starvation in poor countries. But this new technology was initially designed to help astronauts travel long distances who had to keep their food fresh without using too much electricity. Think about how many millions of lives this technology would be able to save once it is commercialized.Furthermore, the first water purification systems were developed by the space exploration program was because astronauts had to travel long distances with fresh water. Today, this technology gives fresh water to millions of people who don't have access to clean water.In addition, satellites were also created though the space exploration program. Satellites aer currently used to monitor global warming, link cell phones across the globe. Plus, heart monitoring systems we use in hospitals and cancer therapy technologies were also all developed by the space exploration program.The important point here is that the space exploration program is surest way to ensure that the best technologies are created, which can be used to benefit the lives of millions across the globe.2. The second argument is that investment in space exploration lead is good for the economy in two ways.First, thousands of high technology corporations are employed in the space exploration program. Banning space exploration, therefore, would mean that thousands and thousands of jobs would be lost.Secondly, countries that invest in space exploration can also later export space related technologies to other countries, which is big business that reaps billions of dollars in profits every year. Why give up a business that makes money?Now I would like to invite my opponent to the podium.
