This topic is my chosen topic for my English assessment, and i have taken a supporting stance on the topic. I personally believe that the benefits; ranging from spin-off technologies such as methods for cleaner energy, more efficient systems and the interent; the knowledge it brings to the human race; the many people inspired by it; the economic benefits including how it is regarded to have a positive-to-overwhelmingly positive Return on Investment (from 1:1 to as high as 1:9) and also how there are advantages that cannot be measured ahead of time (such as the possibility of establishing contact with an extraterrestrial race) far outweigh the costs.

I have put this forward for debate mainly out of personal interest - i would love to hear other stances on the topic, even if they are toxic against my own (but knowing the good people of the Route, that will not happen) - and also I would like the chance to further improve my work and written debating skills.

[Off topic, but as a man of science and the devil's advocate, I might do regular science debates]
In a world of war and conflict, an extermination throws the last great bastion of peace into aggression. In the midst of this, a child sorcerer seeks justice for his fallen home. A repentant assassin and a messenger of the future rush to save their last refuge from destruction. The dead return, backed by a forgotten god. Ideals clash. Morals crumble. And it will not end until one half of the world stands in the ashes of the other.

Maybe when people like Donald Drumpf don't exist, we should be allowed to leave Earth.

(personally I'm one of those people who believe we shouldn't leave Earth until we've learned to take care of her. We're gonna ruin the galaxy the way we've ruined our own planet if we try to get off-world now; I mean have you seen how much space junk/debris we've already got orbiting Earth?).

well i mean were probably gonna have to explore space at some point, just to colonize and stuff. our sun will die in 5billion yrs. if we dont wreck our planet/something else disastrous happens before this, we need to ensure humanity's survival, especially if we're the only intelligent life Out There.
