Topic: We should subsidize space exploration

Argument: as a country, we are falling behind in the space exploration race due to financial constraints

Argument: because of overpopulation space exploration must be subsidized so that humanity can find a new home since it has destroyed earth

Argument: climate change and overpopulation make the future of life on earth dubious. therefore, we should be exploring other options in case we need them down the line.

Argument: eventually we will need to seek out other planets to settle on in cases of emergency

Argument: exploration of space has not produced any tangible benefits yet, so funding should be discontinued

Argument: exploration of space is important to gaining knowledge of the universe

Argument: exploring the earth is more important than what's outside of it and should receive the subsidy instead.

Argument: government should keep money for space exploration to find new locations to live and/or remove dangerous waste from earth.

Argument: humans are explorers, it's built into us, it's our destiny and it's therefore within our interests to spend money and resources to discover what's out there.

Argument: humans shouldn't colonize space until we learn to care for earth

Argument: if space exploration was subsidised then we could learn a lot more about it and this would be beneficial for the world.

Argument: if we subsidised space exploration we could learn more about our own planet from space in wys that we couldn't learn about it from here on earth.

Argument: in times of austerity, no government can afford the costly exercise of subsidising space exploration.

Argument: it can open doors for advancement and should be supported by the government.

Argument: it costs too much money to send space ships to other planets

Argument: it is estimated that the economic value of every dollar spent on the space exploration program is worth $8-$10, this makes it a very sound investment that advances technology, science and medicine.

Argument: it is good to invest in space technology to explore and know as well as for technological development

Argument: it is important to know what else is in the universe for protection and exploratory purposes.

Argument: It is morally wrong to fund space exploration when we have people here on earth that we need to help first.

Argument: it is very expensive and the government should be spending the money on more important things.

Argument: it is vital that we have the ability to explore other worlds. the earth is rapidly running out of room and resources, only through exploration can we find more places to live.

Argument: it is wasted money. no one knows what is out there, and the money could go to proven issues on earth.

Argument: it will help future generations when the earth dies

Argument: it's luxury spending, maybe better to invest the money in healthcare or education.

Argument: knowledge is power and each new discovery can be applied to countless other things that can benefit our daily lives

Argument: mankind has so much more to learn about physics and the nature of things through space exploration that it must be subsidized.
