What The World Would Be Like if Humans Never Explored Space

If humans never explored space, we would have an incredibly lower standard of living. For decades, humans have developed new technology for space exploration, new foods, new vehicles, new machines, and more. Without these, humanity would be much poorer. Cell phones were invented by astronomers who needed a small camera for taking pictures in space. Satellites would never have been invented, along with Wi-Fi, and missiles would not exist. In addition, aircraft would take a huge step-down technology wise, and we would not have fuel sources as clean as we do.

Then we consider the butterfly effect, where tiny things cause huge events in the future, and realize that without space travel, none of us would even be born today, different people would. We also have to consider that astronomy led to groundbreaking philosophy, without which we would have an entirely different history and timeline altogether.
