6.2. A for-and-against essay on the following statement: "Billions of dollars are being wasted on space research. The money could be better employed if used to improve the living conditions of people on Earth".

Solución: Is Space Research a Waste of Money? Some people think spending billions on space research is pointless when there are so many problems on Earth. With poverty, hunger, and climate change, shouldn't that money go towards helping people instead? After all, we don't need to explore Mars when millions don't even have clean water. On the other hand, space research isn't just about discovering new planets—it helps us here too! GPS, weather forecasts, and even medical advancements come from space technology. Plus, space exploration pushes science forward and inspires new generations. What if we find new resources or even a backup planet for humanity? Sure, we should fix problems on Earth, but stopping space research wouldn't magically solve them. Instead, we should balance spending on both. Exploring space could be the key to a better future—on Earth and beyond!
