I disagree with the statement “This house believes that space exploration is a waste of time and money” because space is actually a beautiful place, where you can experience seeing some of the most amazing things in this universe. By exploring space we can find a lot of answers to the phenomenons that occur and are unexplainable. Via our great highly trained astronauts, they can give us feedback and pictures of space. Space exploration has actually helped us because in the 1960s, engineers at a Laboratory (JPL) first developed the function of the digital camera. In the 1990s, a team at the JPL worked to create cameras that are small enough to fit on spacecraft while maintaining scientific quality. One third of mobile phone cameras contain the technology developed from this research. Space exploration has also given us
sunglasses lenses more resistant to scratches and spotting. A technique for creating diamond-hard coatings was developed and patented, and in the late 1980s a company got a license to use the patent. The technique was further developed and later used to make lenses that are scratch-resistant and shed water more easily.
