The Benefits of Space Exploration

Space exploration is an activity of observing and researching natural objects in space, such
as the moon, asteroids, and other planets. Space exploration is generally carried out by developed
countries such as the United States, Japan, Russia, etc. Although it requires a large budget to do
that, they consistently carry out space exploration. There are several reasons why space exploration
has many benefits for a country, among others is a pride and achievement for mankind, encourage
the development of science and technology, and boost the improvement of welfare throughout the
world.
The success of every space exploration is a proud achievement for mankind. Since long
ago, humanity has always aspired to be able to explore space, as told in legends and folklore. With
the success of humanity exploring space, we had succeed in realizing the dreams of our
predecessors, who always tell and write to us that space is an interesting place. Then, the success
of mankind exploring and landing in various places in space, such as the moon and planet Mars, is
the best achievement that humanity is doing right now, because it was once an impossible thing in
the past. Although space exploration only do in certain countries, these successes are certainly a
shared pride for all of mankind in the world.
Space exploration can encourage the development of science and technology in various
fields. First, it requires rocketry and aviation technology, this will encourage the development of
more advanced and efficient rocketing and aviation technology. Then, space exploration will
encourage the development of knowledge related to the universe and our planet, and other sciences
related to natural science. For example, researchers who study objects in the universe such as
planets and stars must also understand geography, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and so on.
Lastly, space exploration has also revolutionized various things related to social, jurisdiction and
law in outer space, so in the end space exploration also encouraged the development of social
sciences related to that things.
Exploration of space also plays a role in improving the welfare of the world community.
The invention of technology related to space exploration such as satellite, GPS, and
telecommunications has helped people to connect with each other in different parts of the world,
so it will make easier for people to do various things such as e-commerce, e-banking, and online
fundraising. Then, fast internet speed, which is one of the results of developing technology in space
exploration, is a very useful discovery for humanity today. With fast internet, we can send
information to each other in a short time, then we can help people affected by the disaster in a short
span of time, and so on. All of these discoveries in the end will improve the welfare of people.
In conclusion, conducting space exploration is not a waste of money for a country. Space
exploration has provided many achievements and pride for all of mankind, then it has also
encouraged the development of science, and has succeeded in increasing the welfare of people in
the whole world. The country that has advanced competence in space science, will certainly be
recognized by the world as a strong country and able to prosper its people.
