the powers that be are very keen on conquering space?

Question

why do you think this is? is it for the benefit of all mankind or are they building some thing up there that will alllow them to control every one down here on the planet? or are they hoping to find a planet that will support human life, so they can finally escape from us, bearing in mind that only people with more than $10,000,000 dollars will be allowed to live there?
is this what their really up to? because lets face it these people, the haves and the have mores never do any thing for any one but them selves ,unless of course they are absolutely forced too?
you might say im a little sceptical about there motives.

Answer 1

understanding our surroundings helps us understand what ROLES we can play in CONTEXT to everything else in the universe.

understanding the creation of everything including us. maybe this is all to prove whether god is real or not.

to learn more about time, gravity, psychics and quantum physics... which could all help us understand reality, and or even control it.

learning more about space has helped us refine our scientific reasoning process and given more info which we applied to other fields like physics and chemistry.

developing new materials and computers systems for the survival of automated robotics or probes

global communications = satellites.

possibly to save the human race in case of an planet wide disaster.

to spread and secure an interstellar area sharing resources and energy.

possible interaction and learning from other species

creating new governments

new opportunities.

new land

and money !!!!


anyway, whats wrong with kicking the have mores off this planet to give us room.
