Bill Dunford – Riding with Robots on the High Frontier

"Why should we worry about what's going on outside the cave? We have so many problems here inside in the cave.
Why should we waste time trying to figure out agriculture? We have so much work to do hunting and gathering.
Why should we spend so much effort messing about in boats? We have so many issues here on the land.
Why should we fiddle with those computers? There is so much calculating that still needs to be done with these pencils.
Why should we explore space? We have so many problems here on Earth.
The answer to all these questions is the same: reaching for new heights often creates new solutions, new opportunity and elevated hope back on the ground.
We should NOT spend indiscriminately in space. But moderately-funded space exploration — as one small part of an overall program of basic scientific research — has blessed lives in many ways over the years, from satellites measuring drought conditions to new imaging techniques in hospitals to global communication."
