Should countries undertake space research?

Recently, there is a growing tendency that more and more countries give priority to space research, such as exploring the universe with space shuttle, satellite and space station. As far as I am concerned, this trend may bring both advantages and disadvantages.

What is more, doing space research such as exploring new planets, universe space analysis and observing the black holes, will give us a opportunity to get knowledge of more information about the universe. The moment found we a new planet which is similar with the earth, maybe we would solve the problems about inadequate resouces. However, space research also has some unfavorable effects. So large is the cost in that researching which is invested by the government that the budgeting in other aspects, education and public welfare for instance, will be decreased relatively. Provided these money were spent into public welfare, the life standard of people would more or less increase.

Further more, to explore the universe, we need to send a variety of

satellites and space shuttles constantly. And yet, all those machines have certain working lives. Consequently, they will fall into the seas or float in the outer pace after they finish their missions, which leads to sea and outer space pollution.

In conclusion, we should think about both the merits and the demerits of space research and make this technology been applied correctly and reasonably.
