Should government spend money exploring outer space or on earth

Should government spend money exploring outer space or on
Earth?
I agree with both the opinions. Governments worldwide should
distribute their money on both the issues.
I think outer space is beyond a fairyland and one has to study it find
the answers for several unanswered questions. How Earth is
formed? About existence? etc. Another important aspect of space
exploration is to find any threats to Earth from celestial bodies. For,
sure these sound highly imaginative and fancy concepts, but Comet
Shoemaker- Levy 9 collision with Jupiter is no imagination. The
value of the data collected by observing the collision is far from our
arguments. These days materials developed for building spacecraft`s
are used in manufacturing products that help physically challenged
people.
At the same time if government with a capability of producing
spacecraft`s imports all
items from pens to car it is of no use. `What good it will do for its
country?` is the question that every government should answer
before it allots funds over an issue. First government should be
concerned with improving the standard of life of its people. This
will enable in building a nation with rich human resources.
I feel governments, which have a balanced plan and
transparency in the above two aspects, will definitely win the
hearts of the people.
