c: Space exploration is a waste of time and money? 

I disagree with this topic because.... We could be using that money for the ecosystem and the environment to try and prevent pollution from happening all around the world. In New Zealand we use over 1.6 billion plastic bags per year and half of those plastic end up in our oceans and take over 1000 years to degrade..  Around the world, an estimated one million birds and 100,000 marine mammals die each year when they become trapped in plastic bags or eating them. To a sea turtle a plastic bag looks just like a jelly fish witch is one of their favorite foods. Most sea turtles wash up on beaches with plastic bags over their head in their stomach and have died of suffocation. So instead of exploring something that is never ending and unpredictable like space we could use the money to start cleaning the environment and getting rid of plastic bags.
