4th and 5th class engaged in a class debate for Space Week in October. The motion posed was 'Is Space Research a waste of time and money?'. Pupils posed many, many persuasive facts, arguments and further questions. Some arguments were: For: - Why are we looking for other planets when we can't even take care of our own? - Very expensive - money could be spent on fixing problems on our earth (deforestation, homelessness, global warming, poverty etc.) - Not necessary for human survival (yet) - Could possibly bring back new diseases/ bacteria/ viruses that us humans could not fight Against: - Rising world population means we need more place for humans to live - Possible cures and medications to be found? - Assist in technology upgrades (e.g. accident blankets, robotics...) - Could maybe provide another home for humans in the future - Expand our community in space - Answer one of our biggest questions: Are we Alone? Well done to all involved! What is your opinion on Space Research?
