It\u2019s a team job showcasing what humanity can achieve when we put differences aside. The internationally crewed ISS space station symbolizes the cooperation of nations in the interest of the greater cause. However, the criticism of the Starlink satellites also gives us pause to consider whether we should not instead transfer some of our cosmic endeavors to Earth: Right now, in the fight against climate change, we are dependent on precisely this pioneering spirit and exploratory drive that has been concentrated primarily in space travel. After all, it\u2019s all about safeguarding the existence of the generations that will come after us. The heroes of this story are often the astronauts, many of whom are top-class researchers and scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped\"><ul
