Humankind explores space in order to try to understand its own history. It's very explanatory. We know we were made. The question is how. Exploring space tells us more on/that.

An esoteric response is that exploration has inherent value. For example, if the Europeans hadn't spent considerable money in the 12th-14th centuries, they never would have found the Americas. There is also the practical argument that space exploration has led directly to such things as nylon, cell phones, and satellites.

First, it is the curiosity factor to know if there is any other world existing besides the one we are living in. Secondly, it could help in the communication network on the earth through the space.

I would say because there has to be something more than just us if you believe we are the only living things in the universe you are very selfish.

Because the world gets smaller everyday and it's human nature to expand and dominate, it'd be naive for governments to believe the Earth can sustain this progression they are simply taking steps to safeguard a home for future generations.
