Enormous amounts of money was spent exploring the Earth. Think back 6 or 700 years. North America wasn't even discovered by Europeans yet. Would you have told them, "whats the point?" I doubt it. It is in our nature to explore. Its pretty selfish to sit on our rock and not explore the origins of life, or try to discover new life. Aren't you curious? It's our curiosity of things that has brought us to this point. We learn answers by asking questions.

Mankind, probably the most mysterious species on our planet. A mystery of open questions. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? How do we know what we believe to know? Why do we believe anything at all? Innumerable questions looking for an answer, an answer which will raise the next question and the following answer will raise a following question and so on and so forth. But in the end, isn't it always the same question and always the same answer?[/quote:a73bc]
