Question

according to president kennedy, what are some of the drawbacks to space travel? support your answer with evidence from paragraphs 3, 8, and 16.

Explanation:

To answer this, we need access to the content of paragraph 3 (not provided here). However, generally, President Kennedy, while advocating for space exploration, might have acknowledged drawbacks like high cost (diverting funds from other needs), technological risks (unproven tech, safety issues), and resource intensiveness (requiring vast resources for research, development, and missions). If paragraph 3 mentions these or other points (e.g., potential for accidents, geopolitical tensions from space race), we'd use that as evidence. For example, if the paragraph states space travel is costly, we cite that to show a drawback.

Answer:

(Requires paragraph 3 content. Hypothetical example with typical drawbacks: ) According to President Kennedy (and supported by relevant evidence in paragraph 3, if it included such points), drawbacks to space travel included its high financial cost (diverting funds from domestic programs like education or healthcare), technological risks (due to untested equipment and the dangers of operating in the harsh space environment, risking lives of astronauts), and resource - intensiveness (needing massive investments in research, infrastructure, and personnel that could strain national budgets). (Note: Replace with actual evidence from paragraph 3 when available.)
