Should we build more hospitals and launch fewer satellites?

It costs about $500million to build a big new hospital. You can get two hospitals for the price of one satellite launch.

Research

First, find out more about what we use satellites for.
Or you can find out about how satellites work.
Use the internet to find an image of the Earth made using a satellite such as Envosat or Meteosat . Print the image and write a caption for it, including a credit line.

The Big Decision

Now you need to start making decisions. Here is the question for you to think about:

Question: Money comes from taxes. Should money be spent on more satellites, more events like the Olympic Games, or more hospitals? Or should these projects share the money?

How do I decide?

this site is cool I think satellites should stay in space because we can laern so much from them and it is really interesting learning about them. The site helped me with my school science APP test. I would reccomend the site to someone who is doing a space topic.
