Discussion of the problem:

I agree with the arguments in the "YES" section. I think it's very important to explore space because we can learn so much about our universe. Discoveries made in space can lead to new inventions and technologies that improve our lives on Earth. Also, I think it would be amazing to find out if there is life on other planets. While we have problems on Earth, I believe that looking to the stars gives us hope and pushes us to be better and smarter. It's an investment in the future of all humanity.

Обсуждение проблемы:

Я согласен с аргументами в разделе "ЗА". Я думаю, что очень важно исследовать космос, потому что мы можем так много узнать о нашей вселенной. Открытия, сделанные в космосе, могут привести к новым изобретениям и технологиям, которые улучшают нашу жизнь на Земле. Кроме того, я думаю, было бы потрясающе узнать, есть ли жизнь на других планетах. Хотя у нас есть проблемы на Земле, я считаю, что взгляд на звезды дает нам надежду и побуждает нас становиться лучше и умнее. Это инвестиция в будущее всего человечества.
