We didn’t know we where living on earth “wrong” until we went to space and could gather data to prove it, our best technology to combat the “wrongness” has all come from space exploration. Computers solar panels etc. Putting humans in unique situations leads to unique solutions that then get absorbed by the race for other uses. That’s why we use algorithms made to chart the stars to find cancer, science is freaking amazing.
