minor drawbacks.

---

First body paragraph
Step 1: Introduce the first disadvantage
(Start with the side you think is
weaker than the other; mentioning one minor demerit could be enough as we
do not need to give it much weight.)
Space exploration costs governments exorbitant amounts of money.
Step 2: Explanation
(Explain the given disadvantage in 1-2 sentences.)
Every year, a great deal of money is spent designing new space shuttles
and advancing technology to explore outer space while there are urgent
problems to solve here on earth.
Step 3: Example
(Provide an example to develop the paragraph.)
An illustration of this is the money spent on launching space probes on
the moon. This money could resolve poverty and illiteracy in numerous
regions around the world to provide higher standards of living for the
inhabitants of the earth.
Second body paragraph
Step 1: Introduce the main advantage
(Note that this is the stronger side,
which should carry more weight than the previous paragraph.)
Nonetheless, the primary advantage of space exploration is scientific and
technological advances.
Step 2: Explanation
(In 1-2 sentences, explain why it is an advantage.)
