Space Exploration, Is it Worth the Cost?

  Have you ever heard about space exploration. Would you like to do one? Well, I admit it is interesting. But, is it worth the cost? It is quite expensive to equip everything needed for going up in space. And when you come up, the missions and to stay on the International Space Station, you need a lot of money. To look on the bright side, after all, this all pays of. By  exploring space, we find new stuff hidden in it. And when the astronauts come back to Earth, they tell the others about their foundations and slowly everybody finds out. In return, these people get money. What you spend, you earn as a reward.
      Three options to do and save more money is to let people go to moons and planets, doing research on Earth. The third option we could do is send machines, or robots with installed cameras on them, so we can follow them on TV.
         In sending people to space missions the goods are that we, on Earth have many details about what the people saw. The bad is that it costs a lot of money. When it comes to doing research on Earth, the good is that it costs the least of the three ways I mentioned but the bad is that when we do it, we don't get so much information and resources than actually going there. The last option which I suggested was that we send machines and robots up to space. The good is that it cannot get affected by the gases and material up there, where we can die if we do something wrong. The bad is that we, who are standing on Earth and watching the snapshot, don't get so much information, because the camera cannot record everything and again, it cannot bring any evidence back to Earth.
If I am a part of the congress, my top 5 choices for what to spend most money on would look like this:
1: Food and Drink- Because they are most important for life.
2: Medicine- We need to make sure our citizens are healthy.
3: Education- Everybody needs to know at least something.
4: Transportation- We need transportation to travel, but they pollute, so that's why it is not higher on the list, We could survive with bikes and electricity-efficient vehicles.
5:  Architecture- We want to make sure to keep up with our architecture.

  Probably, on this list Space Exploration would go either under number 7 or 8. I would be able to have a world without that.
