Please grade my attempt to this AWA Issue essay topic out of 6 
Government Funding for purely scientific endeavours, such as space exploration, should be reduced in order to direct more funding towards humanitarian science projects.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to consider specific instances for which this statement may or may not be true
Funding is necessary for any kind of projects, be it humanitarian science projects or for the projects based purely on scientific endeavours. There is no denying that the use of the funding should not go to waste, as these projects if funded properly has a chance to be the next big thing for the humanity. All of us, humans have benefited largely due to these kind of projects in the past and is expected to do so in the future. Although it should be naturally thought that funding shouldn’t go to waste for something hypothetical and should be used towards betterment of projects that are palpable to be benefited, that should not be the case to keep off of such projects. Even with a one in a million chance of achieving such milestones, they being achieved until this point by being persistent.
That being said we can only go so far without scientific endeavours, the risk of funding a project without even a slight assurance of benefiting from it must be taken, at least before it is too late. For example, scientific endeavours such as projects to find a way to colonise Mars, or any other planet is necessary. Even though we are living on earth and the most of the next several generations are bound to live here until an alternative is found it is necessary as it is hopeless to just wait around for some kind of miracle to save us from the disasters that could occur if there are no counter measures enacted. We have to create a foundation for the further generations to take our knowledge and keep advancing until we get some kind of a break through until then such space expeditions we be seen as a waste of resources.
All in all no scientific experiment goes to waste. There is always some kind of benefit, even with the project ends up being an utter failure, the knowledge gained can be far more beneficial.The space organisations of USA, Russia, Europe were the first few to have successfully send a spacecraft into the Mars orbit, they had done countless number of tries. They failed a lot of times but they kept at it and they finally were successful. They gained a lot of knowledge doing so. Another such example is Thomas Edison, he invented the light build after over 10,000 failed attempts, he was persistent and kept doing what he believed was right and was successful at last and now no one can ever imagine their lives without light bulbs. It became basis for all other great projects.
Without a doubt the projects which are more focused towards humanitarian field is highly beneficial and that too with a relatively low risk of failing at it, but that should not be the reason to reduce the funding of the ambitious projects as at the end, these kind of projects are the cornerstone on which the next generation society will be built. Thus I highly disagree to the claim that government funding for purely scientific endeavours, such as space exploration, should be reduced in order to direct more funding towards humanitarian science projects.
