Anything that advances our knowledge of the universe is worth doing. There doesn’t need to be a practical or monetary advantage to doing it. It’s worthwhile doing just for the sake of curiosity. I mean, looking down on the atmosphere of Jupiter and seeing things no one in history had ever seen before is surely got to be worth doing right?
