Reply to comment by ds2isthebestone in Europe to commit billions to 'space race' by nastratin

It seems stupid, but you dont really think of space as a place to find anything useful you could bring back to earth so much as just a deep black hole that’ll kill you in an infinite number of ways but it’ll probably look indescribably amazing while you burn up or condense into an atom or you’re vaporized

I think its rather the technologies that is developped and discoveries that are very helpful. Without space exploration :

- Solar pannels wouldn't be as powerful today.

- They gave a huge boost to the chip manifacturing

- Insulin pumps

- Improved water filters

- Small cameras that fits your phone

- No CAT Scans

- No LEDs

The list goes on. You can find more about that on the NASA website I believe.
