题目分析：
题目类型：太空探索类
提问方式：同意与否类
Mankind have been actively seeking out foreign life via transmitting pre-emptive signals to the vast ocean of universe decades ago. While the presence of extraterrestrial beings has not been confirmed, it is never wise, in my opinion, to present the existence of human life to the universe.
By today, trillions of dollars have been consumed to the space programmes including satellites, rockets to the moon and advanced telescopes, which is a little more than dip a glass in to the cosmos ocean with massive clusters of star systems. With increasing amount of money being spent on this, domestic poverty, lack of food, educational lag and more problems are not solved. Rather than seeking out contact with the unknown, it is probably wiser to establish a robust and a harmonious domestic environment for our own beings. After all, the general populace is not going to be obedient, if all the resources are consumed to things which have nothing to do with their daily life.
On top of domestic concerns, this could be a threat to Earth. When Christopher Columbus arrived America, that never turned out well for the natives. In fact, as long as two civilisations have encountered with each other, the superior one is highly likely to colonise the lesser developed one via warfare or cultural assimilation, and once natural resources are involved, physical conflicts become unavoidable. In this scenario, human kind is probably the natives.
In conclusion, it would be a better to guarantee the basic living standard of human beings in the first place, rather than make attempt to the aliens of whom we cannot confirm the hostility.
