All waste of money. Forget outer space. If the same money we wasted on to moon and beyond would have been spent in the oceans the world would have been better.

What does it help looking in the stars? What does it help besides curiosity?

Are there any homo astronauts that they could send to probe Uranus?

Seeing how you're 'Oldasrocks', one would think you would have worked that out by now.

Serious answer - no.

It is time to further perfect heavy-lift, practical spaceflight, with the goal of colonizing the Moon. From there we’ll begin mining asteroids, and start enjoying the virtually endless wealth and energy available in space.
