For our last assigned essay in English, we were all assigned an argumentative essay with the topic up to each person. I decided to write mine loosely on space travel and if it is feasible for billionaires to be exploring the galaxy. I have mixed feelings on this topic, for part of me thinks that space travel is really cool and can provide many benefits to humanity, but another part of me thinks that it's wrong for people to be traveling to and from space when our own planet is not doing too well. Our oceans are dying, people are hungry, unemployed, have bad mental health, homicides and violent crimes, homeless, and so forth. With all the problems here on Earth, is it fair for the elite to be investing their time and resources into the galaxy? I will not answer that here, but it is a very interesting and new question that many are questioning for themselves. Personally, I would love to see space become an accessible tourist spot for everyone to see, but the price to be flown into space is astronomical (no pun intended). I have collected all my resources for this essay and I feel ready to write since I have completed my prewriting for the essay. I do not feel anxious for this essay and more/or/less feel ready to type it and be done with it.

That is a very interesting topic you chose. I never thought about space being a tourist spot but that would definitely be very interesting. Maybe one day.
