The drive to explore space and our solar system is still an important human endeavor. Do you agree?

The drive to explore space and our solar system is still an important human endeavor. For example, Mark Whittington once said, “Inherent in exploration of all types is the opportunities that it opens up to the people doing the exploring. For some it is the opportunity to gain new knowledge. For others it is the opportunity to create wealth and expand commerce. For still others the opportunity lies is transcendence, to grow spiritually and to gain a greater appreciation of the universe.” Thus, through exploring space and our solar system, we could in turn gain knowledge, and may even found discoveries in the outer space. We could also appreciate more of the universe and the stars through exploring space, and understand more of how the solar system works through witnessing it by our very own eyes. Therefore, the drive to explore space and our solar system is still an important human endeavour as it allows us to gain new knowledge and to develop a better sense of appreciation towards the space.
