The real excitement from space comes from how we will exploit it. I have heard that huge asteroids are made mostly of nickel and other semi-precious metals. Just imagine how rich we could be from mining those materials. I wonder if there is oil under the martian soil or even better gold and platinum.

The greed potential is where space exploration is headed. People are already trying to develop space elevators to carry goods back and forth from earth to space.
