Space exploration could help our economy grow or transition to new and spacious land masses so we can spread and have a larger population, and with our technology advancing at a very fast pace, we will be able to update our solar technology so we can scan for elements that are common and needed for building and recreating technology. This will also help us to find more planets that can hold the population of the earth, as well as generations to come.
Hope it helps! Have a nice rest of your day!
