Space exploration is done because human need to understand the earth more better with more information than just simply the earth only. Some more, there may be outer space being for being superior than human in the earth. In microscopic, i can describe the scenario to you using the history of China. China initially are the inventor of Compass, paper, explosives powder and printing. However, in the later part history of China, China is attack by foreigner using technology that initially develop by them. The main reason for such unbelievable event to occur is mainly due to China choose not to know what happening outside the world.
Now if human in the earth choose to do the same thing, it is still ok. But if there is really outer space being attempt to invade this earth, then we got to accept the consequence for the facts that we choose to ignore events happened outside. Then we human can be also be exterminate from earth like Dinosaur which do not interested to study outer space.

Added on September 12, 2009, 9:44 amAs for moon landing faking issue, i can only comment that those big country having the technology to play in outer space may attempt keep most of the earth human population not knowing what they see outside the space. Even China Shen Zhou 7 space exploration also being commented having some of the part being fake. In my view of point, there are two possible reasons, one is to prevent outbreak of panic in the whole world population. Secondly, those big country also afraid by reporting too much on what they observed in the outer space, a series of military racing will occur and eventually lead the whole world into a disasterous WW3.
