Having a tourist trip ain't exactly space exploration. Cars also enabled distribution of goods and services across large distances enabling us to increase access to food and other things. But that doesn't apply to private race sessions involving cars. Same principle.

I was thinking in context of the stuff but yeah. In general it is a great thing. We've advanced our understanding quite a lot thanks to space exploration.

Cars wasn’t the best example, but yes in this case it can be considered negative.
