Do you just not really care about climate research and weather forecasting? Satellites give us more information about our atmosphere than you can shake a stick at, and they save more lives from extreme weather events every year than you can count

We’re talking about exploration. Satellites aren’t exploring anything, they’re basically just infrastructure. Since I need to clarify, I’m specifically talking about sending humans to space. It’s mostly pointless as anything other than a propaganda tool. Anything that can be discovered by putting humans in space can be discovered by humans on Earth.
