Hiya!
You know why I
love space and think it should be the number 1 priority for spending/effort?
..
Because when you ask people about stuff like these rovers and satellites exploring Luna or Mars or whatever...their answer is almost universally "Wow! That's cool that we have an actual machine on another planet!"
..
The cool thing isn't that there is a machine on the planet. The cool part is that, no matter who the person is, where they live, what their religion is, what their political background is, or their societal mindset...they almost all say... "we".

It's not "they". It's "we", as in they feel like they are a part of it, along with every other human on the planet.
..
I can't think of a single thing on Earth where people's initial reaction is to think of everyone else on earth, Humans, all of us, as ONE PEOPLE.
..
That's why I love it idea of space travel and space efforts!
