WHY EXPLORE?

 

Hey, it's me, Destin, from Smarter Every Day. If you've watched some of my videos, you may know that I’m pretty obsessed with space (you may have even caught the space series I did). Anyway, for those of you who may not have the same fascination with space that I do, I wanted to take a quick minute and share why I think space exploration and microgravity research matters to us here on earth.

In one of many direct Earth applications of International Space Station research, the newest Benefits for Humanity video in the Benefits series highlights how high quality crystals grown in microgravity lead to new therapeutics for disease.
