Question

What viewpoint is expressed in the excerpt below?

Answer 1

Answer:

The scientists are against the argument.

Explanation:

The word "But" indicates a transition into the disadvantages/cons of something within a written essay or a piece of written work.

According to Collins Dictionary, "If you have reservations about something, you are not sure that it is entirely good or right."

The phrases "will be difficult" and "incredibly expensive" imply that these are the scientists' reasons for not going through with the "ambitious" plan of "space mining mission."

Hope this helps.
