There is no commercial use of manned spaceflight. ISS has no commercial purpose or value. A low earth orbit craft like ISS contributes nothing to space travel. ISS is only 200 miles above earth. It is at least 365 million miles to Jupiter.

Commercial profits? Even if there were gold or diamonds sitting on the moon or on asteroids, it would not be profitable to go get them. The costs are much too high.

‘There is no commercial use of manned spaceflight. ISS has no commercial purpose or value. ‘

What is a commercial value of walking straight instead of on four nimbs and eating prepared foods after all? Or clothes made out of processed fabrics instead of animal skins? What is a purpose of running water, plumbing and electricity? It was all unnecessary and a waste in terms of the Stone Age.
