In order of time:
Language - sharing and developing and progressing ideas
The wheel - power and motion and communication
Health - sanitation, antibiotics, improving human lives.

Certainly not going to the moon - that's just a child's dream.

I agree, I think the whole space travel thing is a waste of resources. Lets work on finding a better way to improve this planet first.
