The option that best connects the topic of the essay to the thesis statement is:
"Space exploration costs a lot of money. Instead of exploring space, that money could be used for important things on Earth."
Yes, I stand by that choice. The statement "Space exploration costs a lot of money. Instead of exploring space, that money could be used for important things on Earth." directly addresses the economic concerns associated with space exploration and aligns closely with your thesis that space should not be explored. It provides a clear transition from the general topic of space exploration to the specific arguments that will support your thesis.
However, if you're looking for a more nuanced introduction, the option "Some people believe space exploration is not a good idea. They may argue that it is very dangerous and unpredictable." could also work to frame the conversation around opposing views. Ultimately, the first option is the strongest direct connection to your thesis.
