The Loch Ness Monster (, Nessie, is a monster that, according to the Scottish urban legend, lives in Loch Ness.

The first written mention of a mysterious creature that lives in the water of Lake Loch Ness dates back to the VI century AD. In the biography of St. Columbus, written a hundred years after the events in the Ness River.

The Celtic legend of the Kelpi water spirit, migrated to medieval folklore, mentioned during the first peak of the monster's observations in 1933-1934, describes the water spirit of the lake as a horse with a long neck and a very small head. Seeing an accidental traveler, Kelpie lured him, exposing his glossy back - as if offering to bring it - and carried the gullible man under water.

The first documented information about observing creatures on the lake dates back to the construction of General Wade’s old military road on the south coast (XVIII century) - then blasting near Foyers frightened off two huge dozing monsters. Throughout the 19th century, messages came that described the gigantic salamanders. On the whole, the “monster” seemed to calm down for a long time, but suddenly in 1880, with complete calm and clear sky on the lake, it turned over and went down to the bottom with people a small sailboat. They immediately remembered the monster, since there were people who saw him.

In 1957, Mrs. Constance White, who had lived on the lake for many years, published her book “This is More Than a Legend,” which collected 117 stories of “eyewitnesses” who allegedly saw Nessie. The book wrote that in all the stories the appearance of the animal was described in approximately the same way: a thick massive body, a long neck, a small head.

                             Why do countries spend money on space exploration?

   Space exploration is an important strategic direction. It can respond to a very large number of areas. Now it is a communication, navigation, photographing the surface and much more. In the field of geology and chemistry we are interested in the resources of the planets around us. Very interesting and unexplored effects occur in black holes. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Why is this money not being spent on health care? In our country, health care is given a lot of money. And if we do not support the space program, we can succumb to our enemies in arms, and they will take advantage. Many countries that do not have military capabilities are not spending money on space exploration, because they will never catch up with Russia and America in this area. The best solution would be for them to spend money on health care. Often the level of health care is high, then do not invest in a lot of money. It would be better to spend it on infrastructure improvements. But all this is not about our country! Russia is one of the most influential countries in the world and that our opinion was decisive, we must be strong. Only by investing in space exploration that we can maintain the defense of our army, because that space is a very promising area for the protection of the country.
