Speaker: Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the
Space Society. Tonight the topic of our debate is The
colonization of other planets. Here with us we have Dr Sandra
Wilkins. And now, may I ask Dr Sandra Wilkins to speak?
Dr Wilkins: Thank you… just think for a moment how much
money colonization of the Moon or Mars, or any other planet,
would take. Billions and billions and billions of dollars…to put a
handful of people on a dead planet. The fact is colonization is
just too expensive.

People may talk of huge resources of copper, diamonds and
other precious minerals on other planets. But no one knows
they are there. We should spend the money on this planet, on
feeding people and protecting Earth’s environment, rather than
make foolish and costly trips into space.
Speaker: Many thanks, Dr Wilkins. And now, are there any
questions from the audience? Yes, the lady over there…

dreamed going there. On July 20th, 1969, that dream came true.
Two American men landed on the moon. Their names were Neil
Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was
the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the men

left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a
living thing had ever made on the moon. And they could stay
there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them
off.
The two men walked on the moon for two hours. They picked up
rocks to bring back to the earth for study. They dig up dirt to
bring back. They set up machines to find out things they wanted
to know. Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft.

UFOs”.
I believe UFOs exist because articles and reports in
newspapers have talked a lot about their appearance.
Firstly, many people in the world claim that they have

like creatures get out of flying saucers.
