The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in munications systems. Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by products (副產(chǎn)品 ) of technological developments in the space industry! While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.

It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future. 68． Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?
