Up to now, many people are still wondering why are we exploring outer space. Fortunately, the answer to the question is abundantly provided by the Internet. NASA.gov is only one of these many sites available to get up-to-date information. I would like to add one more answer to the question through the image that I am posting here. This is just from one space shuttle mission, STS 125. In words, it is simply HUBBLE + ATLANTIS= TIME OF THE PAST and THE FUTURE TIME OF MANKIND!
Giant space telescope Hubble provided us great images of other stars and planets. These are the views of the past, images of stars millions of years ago because what Hubble sees today are millions of light years away and millions of years ago! ATLANTIS is NOW. For this particular flight, ATLANTIS "re-energized" HUBBLE so it can be serviceable for another 10 years or more. And, ATLANTIS is just one of the many space flights that help in providing us more knowledge that will keep us and the future generations to continue treking the universe as long as it can be.
