Whyshould mankind explore space? Whyshould money, time and effort be spent exploring
and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Whyshould resources be spent
on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that,
understandably, are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup( 基因构成 ) as human beings. What
drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible
areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of
survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand
wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers
in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may
be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential( 潜在的 ) resources to be found.
Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources
may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired
through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve
the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs
including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather
forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses
are by-products( 副产品 ) of technological developments in the space industry!
