With today’s advances in sensors, it makes ZERO sense to fly for a business meeting or for a great majority in administrivia to work in an office.
There are thousands of books and hundreds of documentary videos on the topic of Yellowstone National park. There is nothing to glean by going there that you can’t read in a book, watch on video or even experience in virtual reality.

When you can answer that question, you might be able to explain the urge to send people to space.
