Pros

Cons

Price of space exploration would decrease.

Creates high paying jobs for U.S. citizens.

Would increase competition which would increase development.

Would increase government spending.

Would increase global communication and cooperation. 

 

Exploring space helps us preserve our world better.

The use of space equipment like satellites help us to predict weather patterns so it can help warn people before dangerous weather occurs.

Exploring space helps us to understand our own planet.

The cost of space exploration and research is very  costly, also there are many people in countries that go hungry.

 

Travel to space is very dangerous and risky for us.

More space residue will accumulate.

We cannot be certain that the use of space travel will not be used in a hostile situation against us.

Can cause international space tensions. One country could have more capacity to spy on another.

 

We would be  using more of our fossil fuels, which are running out. 

How can we be certain that the use of space travel will not be used in hostile intentions against other countries?
