Detailed explanation-1: -Without space programs, we wouldn’t have GPS, accurate weather prediction, solar cells, or the ultraviolet filters in sunglasses and cameras. There’s also medical research happening in space right now that could cure diseases and prolong human lives, and these experiments can’t be done on Earth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fundamentally there is no real choice between robotic and human exploration of space, however. Both are synergistic and mutually dependent. Robotic exploration is necessary to enable human exploration by setting the context, providing critical information, and reducing the risk to humans.
Detailed explanation-3: -Humans are superior to machines in three important ways: Humans can explore, ask questions, and be open to new ideas and ways of working. Machines cannot compete with humans on creativity. Humans are capable of empathy, which is necessary to connect well with people and build meaningful relationships.
Detailed explanation-4: -F But if space is to be more than a place to build automatic laboratories or set up industrial enterprises in the vicinity of our planet, the presence of humans is essential. They must learn how to voyage through space towards destinations which will be not only scientific bases but also places to live.
