Do you know that humans haven't walked on the moon surface since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972? With NASA's Artemis missions(任务), 1 could soon be on the moon again—and on Mars in the end. It's reported that in 2025, NASA plans to begin 2 a base camp for astronauts, near the moon's south pole. They'll study how long-term space travel affect humans. But is space travel worth the dangers it causes to astronauts? We asked two kids to express their 3 on this question.
" We still need to4 humans into space. There will be too huge population on Earth.5 we fail to solve climate change, it will be6 to live on the planet. We'll need to go to space to7 . With the Artemis missions, we could set up a moon base. That would be a step toward the bigger goal of8 Mars. We need to find out if living on Mars is9 . The robotic missions send back a lot of information. But it won't be enough to help us understand10 we'd live on another planet. Only human exploration can11 us for the future."
" We should not send humans into space, at least not now. Sending humans into space 12 a lot of money. For example, it's reported that by 2025, NASA will spend $93 billion on the Artemis moon program. That same money could be used for solving 13 on Earth. We could develop 14 energy to fight climate change. I'm not saying that space exploration should 15 happen. But for now, we should explore space with the technology we have, and focus on solving the problems we have on Earth."
