As stated earlier, all the discoveries were made within this solar system. The discoveries that could be made by traveling outside of this solar system are incomprehensible. Most of the technology that mankind has gained from space exploration lies within the modern day smartphone. The LED lights that are used as a flashlight on smartphones were originally used of to assist the growth of plants in space during the 1960's. Furthermore, the digital cameras that have been implemented into smartphones, was originally used to create more space on the spacecraft. This was due to the sleek and minuscule size of the digital camera, compared to that of an analog camera. Since the introduction of astronomy, both discoveries and technologies originating from this field have been implemented into society in order to create a more sophisticated species. By utilizing research discussing discoveries from past missions, the impacts of those discoveries, and postulating potential future outcomes of greater extragalactic missions, this essay will argue that traveling to other galaxies is a means by which to foster greater understanding of the
