When it comes to the issue of space research, people vary in their views. Some journalists or free lancers maintain that it is a waste of money. However, through decades of practice and observation, it proves that this comment has many limitations.
Admittedly, the idea that space research is a waste of money does contain an element of truth. But the people who criticize the rising cost of space exploration tend to ignore two other essential aspects. To begin with, a nation can make the best use of its technology in space plans to serve the need of other countries. Therefore, the country in its space research can profit greatly from data exchange or rocket launching. In this sense, the financial return from the space plans will possibly far exceed the amount of the investment. What is more, through its space exploration, a nation can have more information about new material or the movement of heavenly bodies. All these results cannot be measured by money, but they are very important for the human beings.
Given the reasons above, it is safe to conclude that a nation has to enhance its awareness that space research is important for the human beings. On the other hand, central authorities is obliged to take broad actions to encourage space study. Still, Federal Government is expected to set aside sufficient fund each year rather than reducing it. Only in this way can space research develop quickly and benefit human beings in the future.(266 words)

當談到太空研究的問題,人們的'觀點各不相同。一些記者或免費槍騎兵認為這是浪費錢。然而,通過幾十年的實踐和觀察,證明這個評論有很多侷限性。
不可否認,認為太空研究是一種對金錢的浪費幷包含一個元素的真理。但批評太空探索成本上升的人傾向於忽視其他兩個基本方面。首先,一個國家可以充分利用其技術在太空計劃為其他國家的需要。因此,國家在太空研究可以從資料交換或火箭發射利潤很大。從這個意義上說,太空計劃的財務回報可能會遠遠超過投資的數量。更重要的是,通過其太空探索,一個國家可以有更多關於新材料的資訊或天體的運動。所有這些結果不能用金錢來衡量,但他們對人類是非常重要的。
鑑於上述原因,得出結論,一個國家必須加強安全意識,太空研究對人類很重要。另一方面,中央政府有義務採取廣泛行動鼓勵空間研究。不過,聯邦政府預計每年留出足夠的基金,而不是減少它。只有這樣才能空間研究迅速發展,造福人類。(266字)
