Why is space travel important to us?
Studying space helps us understand our own world Studying the cosmos gives us an important perspective shift. When we learn about what lies beyond Earth, it gives us context for understanding our own planet. Studying the other worlds of our solar system and beyond makes it clear that Earth is a precious oasis for life.
What have we learned from space exploration?

Why is space so important?
Space also provides earth with valuable metals, rare objects and precious materials that can be used for medical research. These special things can help cure diseases and help us to survive. Astronauts are already exploring space and learning more about it, they are giving us the opportunity to discover new worlds.
How has NASA benefited our society?
NASA has made major contributions to world- changing industries like satellite telecommunications, GPS, remote sensing, and space access. NASA’s contributions have enabled the first weather imagery to be transmitted from space, deployment of the first geosynchronous satellite, and human access beyond low Earth orbit.
