Guest Post: What is More Important? Advancement or Man's Basic Needs?

          Few people believe that space programmes would give benefit to any particular country. This is when the government supports it by allocating a budget on space exploration. However, many argued that cutting the budget from public funds for space research is not ideal. 

          Although scientists believe that these studies would help the country in the long run but in my opinion, there are factors that need to be considered first. These factors are economic needs and education needs which are fundamental priorities by the government than space research.

          The economic needs simplify the needs of the society especially the individuals. There is a basic part of necessity which the people need to get. That is to gain the support from the government by providing them their food, shelter, health medications and good facilities for sports. This is one of the two important reasons why I believe that the government should inculcate on its mind the priority of the people.

          Moreover, education is a vital part in the success of a person's life. To become successful, one must earn a degree. For some students, it is a problem to go to university and this is a good opportunity for the government to help those less fortunate ones in gaining degree. 

          Thus, the government's money spending on the economic as well as education needs is more practical. I reiterate my stand that funds should be spent wisely by the government on dealing with problems on this earth instead of using them first on space research.
