ECONOMIC PRINCIPLE: Because of scarcity, people choose. All choices have an opportunity cost.

THESIS : We as a human race would probably want to explore as much as we can of  our universe, but there is a border  in resources that limit us.

SYNTHESIS PARAGRAPH: The resources that we posses on our planet, can make our fate in further discovering the universe. We will might be in a situation to choose between, doing something useful for our planet, or try to find and provide environment for living on some other planet. All those amazing discoveries that we have made, gave us some information. One of them has recently discovered that, there is water on the moon. This proves that, if we didn’t invest our money in this mission, we would never find out there is water on the moon. Is it really worth? Why we would spend so much money on some researching far away from us when, probably most of us won’t even be able to visit that place. Wouldn’t  be better if, we would use that money for helping poor people that are almost everywhere around us? But, we are coming to that economic principle called “scarcity”. We all know that our planet won’t last forever, so humans are trying to develop powerful spacecraft that would be able to drop us somewhere far away where we can survive. What would happen if we gave all that money to the poors? We would save a couple million lives, but in case that our planet explodes, 7 billion people would lose their lives.
