Topic：Do you think travel is a good idea?

Hi, I'm Hanna from Australia and I'd like to talk to you about space travel today.

In Australia we don't have our own separate space travel program though we do do a lot to back up NASA so we don't send any rockets up into space by ourselves but we do things like construct satellite dishes and then relay anything we pick up there back to NASA.

I think it would be really great if we had our own space program though. I don't think we should send up people into space though because it's a little bit dangerous and you never know when something's going to wrong and that could lead to quite a few people losing their lives but I do think it's a really good idea to send things like machines up into space because that way we can learn a lot about our universe and a lot about the things around us and further our knowledge. So I think space travel is an excellent idea so long as we're not sending people up there.
