Why are Humans determined to go into space,and pay millions to do so when there is nothing there to see or do.
I can understand having Space Stations for National Defence and observations,but,paying a million pounds just for a flight in space seems to me to be a complete waste of money,and rather eccentric,or maybe I am wrong,what do you think.

Yes. It's a big waste of money. It could have fed many starving people around the world with that kind of money.

I believe the latest in space tourism is Richard Branson. He's gonna charge about a million pounds. The space tourist will probably only go up say 100 miles and then down again. Not sure if they will do a complete circuit of Earth.
Why? Hard to say, except it's rather like asking a mountaineer why climb the mountain? Because its there!
Space, the final frontier....etc

We need to expand into space, because sooner or later earth will be hit by an asteroid or similar body which will wipe us out.
Even if we are incredibly lucky on the asteroid front, the sun will eventually run out of fuel and turn into a red giant, engulfing the inner planets.

The return and forth is located into orbit via propelling itself from liftoff to 17,500 MPH at which ingredient it no longer needs any thrust to maintain orbit in view that there is not any friction of an environment to sluggish it down (inspite of the indisputable fact that actual there is an somewhat tiny bit on the altitude the return and forth orbits) ... the thrust of the engines push against returned of the engine by way of fact the thrust exits the engine nozzle, and that ends up in shifting the spacecraft interior the opposing path by way of fact the thrust. In area, a similar consequence happens ... it has no longer something to do with the ambience. The thrust is extra useful than the finished weight of the craft, so it strikes interior the path opposite the thrust.

We should never move ahead and electric lights what a waste, who needs to see after dark. We should also crawl back into the primordial ooze.

The UK is getting so overcrowded with immigrants and Asylum Seekers that we're going to have to set up a colony on the moon before long!

Why not! Humans are a curious race and want to see what is there. The only way to satisfy the curiousity is to go there.

Once you've looked at every place in the world, as humans have, the only other direction thats been virtually unexplored is up.

if you've got the money, it would be a fantastic experience! But i am not sure I would want to be on the first flight! Never be the first to do anything!

it's humans nature to explore, how did anyone find America or Australia.
I'm sure back then they said the same thing, but look at what found.
You never know until you try something, you might find something
