The Importance of Human Space Exploration

Is the idea of humans venturing into space a frivolous waste of time and resources?
No! It’s about more than just sending people into space. It’s about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and using that knowledge to improve life on Earth.
From developing new technologies that solve problems on Earth, to inspiring future generations to reach for the stars, the benefits of human space exploration are endless and closer than most may realize.

What is your favorite human spaceflight spinoff/benefit?

[@aerofoilmusic]

The answer to the question of video: Ultimately - survival!

[@LourencoCoelho-hi3wo]

Wow

[@tim40gabby25]

Spin offs are side effects - why not focus directly on Earth's problems, with maybe as exciting a payoff? Just asking.

[@cadennorris960]

I’m admittedly not an expert however many “subject matter experts” seem to think a mass extinction event is possible and plausible at some point so colonizing another planet is our only way of survival. Wether that’s true or not i don’t think anyone knows for sure but are you willing to risk the existence of our species?
