Well, the answer to that question was 'obviously not', but at the moment, Kate couldn't come up with any really good reasons why humans went into outer space other then educating themselves, improving life for mankind, searching for other life forms, and... Oh, yeah!

Kate raised her hand. "We go into outer space to help protect the environment," she said. "For example, we learn more about the position of Earth and other bodies like the Sun, so we can know what to expect and how to not harm ourselves or the environment." She also wanted to add that we search for other life forms, but she figured she should save some answers for others.

Kate made a new column on her parchment and titled it 'Reasons Why We Go Into Outer Space'. She jotted down her own idea then glanced up to see who else had something to offer.
