whether the US should spend more money on space exploration or mental health;

Here are my thoughts on this discussion. I feel that space exploration is a very expensive and always feel like there is a debate about the pros and cons of space exploration and the reasons for investing in something like this seems like people are going in circles about this. Most people want to live healthy and this desire to lead them to do things such as exercise, eat healthy etc. Unfortunately, mental health does go unnoticed and is ignored, and people are dying. Spending more money on this is so very important to help those around us become educated on the subject. I think when people find out that someone is hurting mentally, they start to think poorly of that person, because they don’t understand. I feel that everyone deserves to feel their best mentally and physically. Spending more money on this subject I feel is way more beneficial than space at this point in time, especially after all of this COVID stuff!

I think that we should worry about more mental heath than space travel because I think that mental health is more important. Many people die because their emotions take them over and they
commit suicide. This is more important than knowing how space works. There are things that people still can’t figure out such as vaccines. I think it is more important to figure those things out first.

I think we should focus more on mental health than going to the moon because it is more worth our time. Only a few people can go to the moon at a time and so many people are affected by mental health. People need mental health training to even go in a rocket. You can’t go in a rocket for only 2 days, you have to stay for about 6 months. It takes a while to get up there and start studying everything that is on the moon, so you have to stay up their for a while.
