A huge amount has been learned through space exploration and astronauts, far too much to list here. We now know a lot more about space than we did. We have been able to study the moon, other planets, stars, asteroids and many other things in space. A lot of this can be done better from space than from Earth. We know more about the universe now than we did. We have better ideas of how many things in space happen.

A lot of medical information was needed on astronauts in terms of how they dealt with being in space. It meant we learned more about the human body, that could help in other areas of health and medicine. Experiments were done in space that helped to get a better understanding of how we survive in different situations.

In trying to get astronauts to space a lot of new technology had to be created. Many of those things have helped society. You are now reading this on the internet, through your computer, and a lot of technology that is used in computers came from work done in getting astronauts into space. Scientists had to try and find solutions to many problems. This meant that the amount of things they invented increased. It also gave a boost to the speed at which new technology was developed.
