Drive to explore space and our solar system

I agree that the drive to explore space and our solar system is still an important human endeavor. Being able to explore space and our solar system requires us to have sufficient technology to conduct the mission safely, this will make it difficult. Space has no end, there is still so much that have not been explored yet thus making it a human endeavor. Many humans are afraid of exploring the planets and space as a result not many people will want to explore space.
Firstly, although we do have the technology to explore space and our solar system. Do we have the technology to explore far out into space? For example, a team of astronauts go out to explore space. But they do not know when they will reach their destination, what if they run out of fuel before they find anything? This makes it a human endeavor as we do not have the sufficient technology to explore far out into space.
Secondly, Space is never ending. When will you find another planet? Another universe? We, humans do not know how big is space. Imagine being at the surface of the ocean, and you are looking for the sea bed. You will not be able to sea bed because it is too deep to be seen. It is just like exploring space, if you do not know how far the next universe is from where you are, how are you going to find it? This is thus a human endeavor.
Lastly, many people are afraid of losing their lives if they explore space or our solar system. This means that there will be less people willing to explore space. Without man power, it is impossible to explore the huge never ending space.
All these points suggest that the drive to explore space and our solar system, because we do not have the sufficient technology, space does not have an end and the fact that there is not enough man power.
