Getting into the space.

The benefits of which are still a long way off. For now, mankind has gone to the moon, and come home with some rocks. I can find rocks in my back yard; why do I need to spend millions of dollars, and fly to the moon to get them?

FIRE!

Mankind's greatest achievement was fire. when the early peoples of the world needed light and warmth, and something to use for cooking, they sought to find something, fire.

They learnt to harness its power, and then grew an appitite to conquer all other obstacles. And here we are today, still doing the same thing.
