I am incredibly excited about such missions and love reading/following them but really, why "should" we explore space?
Edit: Let me clarify why I ask this, I had once seen some documentary where a marine biologist makes a point something to the effect of - we understand less about our deep oceans than space, but there is a huge delta in our research spending on each. So, why are certain fields more important for research than others, in short, why space?
- na85 9y agoBecause great discovery has no roadmap. When the Electron was discovered it was useless, and now it runs our entire world. Who can say where undirected research and exploration may lead us?
- rdiddly 9y agoOh man that's a big question. I suppose on the most basic level my answer would be something like "To pay due heed to the human trait of curiosity." Which doesn't say much, and deliberately so!
