      I certainly do!!! We have soooooo much to explore, so much to discover and learn from the universe! Learn from whatever is in that huge, endless area of space! We’re so close to actually being able to travel to space as a daily thing, so once we hit that goal, we’ll be able to do so much! So many opportunities will open and our minds will be so much wiser and interested in the many areas we’ll be able to discover and maybe one day live on! It’s a dream that will one day be a normal thing to everyone!

      Yes! The most important long-term scientific discoveries lie out there in space. We need to explore this ‘final frontier’ as part of our future.

      There’s also lots to consider about human colonisation of other worlds – a very sci-fi idea but something that will have to happen eventually. I quite like the quote from Instellar: “Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here.”

      yes! we have learned so much from this earth, but our planet is a small part of something very big. learning about space will help us understand our planet better and increase our living standards.
