Why shouldn't the us government cut the space exploration budget? what are the advantages of exploring space?

The US shouldn't cut the space exploration budget because rare-earth materials are used to make shuttles and satellites.

Advantages of exploring space are:
We can learn a lot about star systems, black holes, and gravity.
We can see earth's surface and know what rival countries are doing.
We can find earth-like planets.
There are more, but these were the quickest to come to mind for me~!

Sorry can’t u just tryna get points
