It takes $10‚000 per pound just to put somebody on the moon. It would be twice that much to send someone to Mars as it says in Source-B The Cost Of Space Exploration.

In contrast‚ recent years present citizens who find no interest in traveling to the moon and beyond. The average citizen may not understand the potential assets that are established through space exploration‚ and‚ therefore‚ should have the opportunity to become educated on the topic. The most commonly asked question regarding space travel is “Why?”‚ and there are many scientists
