限时完成的，听力材料中第二个点听得不是很清楚，为了追求真实性也没有再听第二遍就开始写了

In the reading material, the author draws the point that space travel, which will came to service private citizens, will bring great benefits to both science and the public. However, the speaker in the listening material does not agree with him.

Firstly, the author says private space travel will make spaceflight cheaper because of the competition in the travel market. On contrary, the speaker pointed out that the spaceflight will be continued to be expensive for two reasons. The first reason is that cost to build space travel systems will not be reduced by any competition. And the other reason is travel to space will cost much more than usual travel to keep safety. Therefore, the speaker claimed that the price, which greatly based on these two aspects, will not decrease.

Moreover, in the lecture, privatization of space travel will benefit the scientific discoveries since more scientists are employed. Obviously, the speaker thought this conclusion unsound. The scientists employed in space travel will be totally focused on this industry so that they will drop their research which could more useful to discover space secrets.

Finally, the speaker pointed out that there is no chance to ease the taxpayers' financial burden by supporting space travel. To demonstrate his point, he argued that development of space travel will cost a large amount of funds to build space stations and other facilities. The outcome will be the fact that financial burden on taxpayers will be increased, instead of eased.

To sum up, the point asserted by the speaker is on the contrary of the reading material.
