Answer 1

Intro: The idea of flying above the clouds, soring into the heavens has been around almost as long as humans have existed, from the tales of Icarus, to Chinese stories of gunpowder and Aztec tales of creatures from the stars. We are now realising this dream. State points you will develop.

Points

Aerospace is a multibillion dollar business

Space is a vital resource, limitless area, low cost of movement, almost zero resistance.

As resources on Earth run out, we will need to start looking elsewhere for iron, steel, minerals etc. Asteroid mining may be nessicary.

As development increases, costs will be reduced and staying in a space program has been shown to greatly increase a countries economy.

The increasing development brings high tech manufacturing to the country.

Major long term benifets

Cons:

High initial costs with low initial gains.

Very polluting

Money could be spent elsewhere.

Conclusion: Your overall points restated, followed by the supporting facts, and a good concluding sentence.
