Topic: We should subsidize space exploration
The technology developed for space exploration has also had uses in regular life -- subsidizing space exploration would also have positive trickle down effects.
the technology to colonize space isn't there yet and won't be for generations and generations to come. there are more pressing matters to spend money on that help people right now.
the technology we get from space exploration alone is worth the cost of it
The thousands of workers employed in the space industry help the economy by spending money on housing, clothing, and food. Furthermore, the taxes they pay bring revenue to the government.
the universe outside of our planet holds the most fascinating mysteries, of course we should explore it and learn, it is ignorant and arrogant to think this planet is all that matters
there are already too many problems in the world that could use the resources more than space.
there are better things to spend money on
there are many more practical realms of scientific inquiry that need our support more urgently.
there are many other options to pay for it
there are more immediate needs here on earth, there's no reason to explore space.  we have to care for what we have already.
there are more important things to spend public funds on such as health care, housing and education.
there are more practical needs, like housing and infrastructure, in which we should invest.
there are much more important things to spend money on; space exploration is a low priority and should not be subsidized
there are much more worthy causes to invest in than space exploration, which benefits nobody.
there are so many other problems in the world such as sickness and poverty.  money should be used for those, not for getting to a rock in a distant place.
there are so many problems here on our own planet that need fixing before we look into space.  we should not waste resources looking outwards and instead look inwards to what we can do here.
there are so many problems in this world such as hunger and climate change that money is better spent on them rather than exploring space
there are so many things in this world left to discover, so we should definitely support space research.
there are too many problems on earth that need to be addressed without spending money floating around in space while people here go hungry.
there doesn't seem to be a broader point to exploring space other than to explore -- government subsidies should go to programs that benefit people on earth in the present.
There have been no direct benefits from space travel; all the inventions and by-products of space exploration would have been developed eventually by commercial companies.
there is a lot issue which our society facing today and they should be supported. when we clear all these issues then space exploration could be considered.
there is a lot to be learned from space exploration which has already produced many lifesaving inventions
there is no need to subsidize space exploration because it does not benefit society as a whole.
