Per aspera ad astra That's a fairly common Latin motto - the South African Air Force uses it. It's also sometimes reversed - Ad astra per aspera - that's the motto of the State of Kansas. Asperum means 'a rough place, adversity, or (in plural form) difficulties,' so you will see several versions - Through difficulties/hardship/adversity to the stars.

Why is Latin a useless language to learn?

You could say it's useless because (outside of a very small group of scholars and enthusiasts) the language is no longer spoken or written. You won't be called upon, when visiting a foreign country, to read Latin road signs or ask the way to the bathroom in Latin. There are also reasons, though, why learning Latin is not useless at all. It's useful for its own intrinsic intellectual interest, as an example of a language that is structured quite differently from English. Latin has an important and beautiful literature - particularly the poetry, which, like all poetry, is best appreciated in the original language. Probably the greatest practical benefit of studying Latin, though, is the light it sheds on the words of our own language. About 2/3 of the English vocabulary is derived from Latin, either directly or via Latin's daughter language, French. An English-speaking student who has studied Latin is a better speaker and writer (and speller!) of his or her own native language.
