Considering Types
This post will decide on what kind of argument I will end up writing, and why.
My whole goal for this project is to refute a specific reason I've seen come up for not supporting space exploration, so the best type of argument for that is the refutation argument. In this style I can easily 'attack' that view, in the sense that I want to show that it's a bad one. I don't want to just explain why another person's argument supporting space exploration is good (evaluative argument). I also don't know what I could really argue if I just want to identify a cause o a problem (causal argument). And I also wouldn't feel perfectly comfortable just proposing a solution to the problem (Proposal argument).

I think that refutation is a really good choice for your article. This post also made it very clear about why the other types of arguments would not work for this subject matter. I definitely understand how it would be difficult to propose a solution to the issue, so I think refuting an idea is ultimately the best option.
