why?

It will be used as a model for a future mission to Mars....

As well, Im sure that many people asked Christopher Colombus and a lot of other explorers "Why?"... The question should really by, why not? Why did we goto the moon and then just.....................stop? The universe compared to the size of our world, there is so much to explore, so why not do it? I think its only a natural and logical progression to journey into uncharted territory. The earth may have kept us busy for a couple of thousand years while we explored the entire thing, but the universe will certainly keep us busy for millions upon millions of years. And, it is only logical that one day space travel to other planets, will be as natural and routine as driving to Florida for a weekend getaway. Thats my take on it at least, and I hope that one day that is the case.

They did not ask him "why" after he had all ready been there 40 years prior........
