高中英語(yǔ)作文：Do We Need Space Exploration

    Do We Need Space Exploration

    Man has been fascinated by outer space for thousands of years. It has been almost over forty years since man’s first landing on the moon. Now, some people believe that space exploration is a sheer waste of time and money. They point out the fact that it cost billions of dollars to carry on the space research, but a little information was brought back.
    However, every coin has two sides. There are still a majority of other people who believe that space exploration has more advantages. And I agree with those people. Many new products, such as weather and communication satellites, are also products of space programs, and they have benefited people all over the world. And what’s more, scientific knowledge about outer space has been acquired by mankind.
    We believed that it wi!/bring more benefits in the future, which we can not even imagine now. Space exploration is a challenge to human beings. That’s why several nations try hard to carry out space exploration continuously.

    我們是否需要太空探索

    人類對(duì)外部空間著迷已有上千年的歷史了。從人類第一次登上月球起至今已有四十多年了。現(xiàn)在，有些人認(rèn)為空間探索完全是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間和金錢。他們指出，數(shù)百億美元用于太空研究，但收獲甚微。
    然而，任何事物都具有兩面性。仍有大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為進(jìn)行空間探索利大于弊，我也非常贊同他們的觀點(diǎn)。許多新產(chǎn)品，如氣象、通訊衛(wèi)星都直接得益于空間研究，使全球受益匪淺，而且人類從中獲得了不少關(guān)于太空的知識(shí)。
    我們相信，將來它會(huì)帶給人類更多的好處，有些甚至是我們現(xiàn)在無法想象的。太空探索對(duì)我們?nèi)祟悂碚f是個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)，這也是為什么許多國(guó)家不斷進(jìn)行探索的原因之一。
