Seriously, what is the point of space exploration anyway? and what if we found water on Mars? shouldn't it be a huge amount of water to support life?

- agildehaus 8y agoWe've found water on Mars, but we've also found ancient river and lake beds, deltas, and minerals that can only be found in water on areas of Mars where no water currently exists. We wouldn't know any of that without having gone there to explore it. By learning about the mechanisms behind why Mars went from water-rich planet to its current state, we learn more about what could happen us, its closest neighbor. There also remains the possibility Mars could currently harbor life, or once did and there's evidence of that to uncover. Mars represents our best chance of finding direct evidence of extraterrestrial life. Please try to have a richer view of this.
