I think it's the main director of the space
Robots.
Exploration of space beyond the moon has been conducted by space agencies such as NASA, ESA, Roscosmos, and private companies like SpaceX. Missions have included probes to planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, as well as the establishment of space stations like the International Space Station. Future plans involve crewed missions to Mars and beyond.
NASA has sent probes to Mars, which is much further from Earth than the Moon.
Curiosity and ego, to prove it could be done.
Various missions by space agencies such as NASA, ESA, and Roscosmos have explored space beyond the moon. These missions have sent spacecraft to planets like Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, as well as to distant objects like asteroids and comets. Robotic probes like Voyager, Cassini, and New Horizons have provided valuable data about our solar system and beyond.
No the Space Shuttle was only designed for low earth orbit it can't even go to the moon.
A space probe aids in space exploration by traveling beyond Earth's atmosphere to collect and transmit data about celestial bodies, such as planets, moons, and asteroids. Equipped with scientific instruments, probes can analyze the composition, atmosphere, and surface conditions of these objects, providing valuable insights that are impossible to obtain from Earth. Additionally, they help expand our understanding of the solar system and beyond, paving the way for future missions and potential human exploration.
Never, Eris was explored only by telescopes.
There you have it ... the answer to your own question: It isn't just a waste of money, therefore it continues to be done.
Rockets improved space exploration by providing the necessary propulsion to launch spacecraft beyond Earth's atmosphere and into space. They enabled missions to reach farther destinations, travel faster, and carry greater payloads. Rockets have enabled us to explore distant planets, moons, and asteroids, revolutionizing our understanding of the universe.
The mission of the Kennedy Space Center, part of NASA, is to facilitate human spaceflight and exploration. It serves as the primary launch center for human space missions in the United States, supporting various projects including crewed missions to the International Space Station (ISS) and future lunar and Mars exploration initiatives. The center also emphasizes advancements in space technology and international collaboration in space exploration. Overall, its mission is to inspire and lead in the pursuit of scientific discovery and exploration beyond Earth.
Some inventions that have come from space exploration include memory foam (developed by NASA for aircraft cushions), improved firefighting equipment, scratch-resistant lenses used in eyeglasses, and insulated clothing materials. These innovations have found applications beyond space exploration and have benefited various industries and everyday life.
