Explain Why Homeless People Should Not Build A Space Station

Decent Essays
Although many people think it would be awesome to build a space station, there are so many homeless people that we could try to feed with that money. Sure it would be awesome to build a space station, but think about all the and homeless kids. First and foremost, why you should not spend your money on space station and on the homeless is that the homeless need the money maybe eat lunch. Your money wouldn’t really even matter to the space station since it would cost about a trillion dollars and all the homeless people want would be to buy lunch. You don’t have to give them one hundred dollars unless you want to. Just ten dollars would make there day and buy them dinner. You might even remember that you incidentally stumbled across three dollars

    If I couldn’t spend the $1,000,000 on myself, I would spend the $1,000,000 to help the Wounded Warrior Project because there are so many soldiers out there in hospitals or in trenches that are wounded and may not have the medication or right kind of help they need. Also my grandfather was in the Korean War and lost both his legs from the knees down. I wouldn’t want people to suffer just like him and so many others. Maybe if they had the correct help or even better help they could have kept their limbs. For every US soldier killed, seven are wounded.…

The older folks referred to in the article are homeless people that live across the United States. Fagan maintained that the nation can do better in terms giving back to the needy, especially considering the wealthy of the nation. However, what Fagan failed to mention in the article is what the homeless are not doing for themselves. Long time homelessness is a predicament that can only be blamed on the homeless because people that wind up homeless for whatever reasons are capable of changing their situation.…

    Most naysayers of manned space travel focus heavily on the danger to the astronauts and the massive amount of resources that are supposebly wasted in space. Some argue against government funded space programs while others argue against space travel in general, but all say they have good reason.

This is a very good rebuttal to space exploration as the problems with poverty are very important. Yet the amount of money that could potentially be made with space technology such as asteroid mining would help these problems far more than just redirecting current funds out of space.…
