Space exploration allows us to prove or disprove scientific theories developed on Earth. I’d answer that question with a quote from Goethe: “If you want to reach the infinite, then explore every aspect of the finite.” Space is first and foremost a fantastic "playground" for scientists - an endless source of knowledge and learning that’s helping answer some of the key existential questions about Earth’s origins and our place in the Universe. Why spend such vast sums of money on space exploration and missions to far-distant celestial bodies where most people will never go? If we take the risk of venturing beyond our terrestrial home, it’s also to learn more about ourselves and our planet, improve life on Earth, and maybe, just maybe, find or create a new future for our children, says Walter Cugno, Vice President Exploration and Science Domain at Thales Alenia Space.
Space exploration isn’t simply a sign of humanity’s hubris or a brazen desire to find new places to live and new sources of wealth.
