It has been argued by many that projects of space exploration are expansive and the funding for these is useless, rather the government should spend money on other important fields. In my opinion, I fully agree with this as the humanity takes priority and the state should spend the budget on the problems like poverty and provision of food.
On the one hand, space technology is a costly affair and consumes too much revenue. Firstly, it requires huge infrastructure like super computers, telescopes, satellites, rockets and space shuttles. Secondly, the training of staff required for this purpose requires lot of efforts. Moreover, the missions planned for the research purpose have a high probability of failure. All this, ultimately, leads to the consumption of too many resources and is a constant burden on the finances of a country. For instance, the amount spent in the UK for such studies is about the quarter of the whole income.
On the other hand, the economist must give importance to the issues of low socioeconomic conditions and provision of edibles to the population instead of the emphasis on the exploration of galaxies. Many countries of the world have people who are living below the poverty line and there are families who can't feed three meals a day to their young ones. Furthermore, the situation gets more grave when the rulers instead of making policies for the betterment of mankind, spend too much on the uplift of engineering sciences related to the stars and planets. For example, the same issue has been highlighted in the general assembly meeting of the Uninated Nations in 2018.
To conclude, I believe that a line should be drawn between the essential and the non-essential issues, so that the suffering of the poor and needy can be reduced.
