Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Complacency and no desire or motivation to create new technologies. The Cold War was a great tool to get space exploration out of the theoretical category and onto the implementation stages. The World Wars gave birth to many new medical technologies, as well as transportation advancements. If not for the threat of war, do you think any jet would have the capability to absorb radar? Would we have wondered about the possibilities of splitting the atom to yield energy? We learn fascinating things just by being threatened and get motivated to either protect ourselves or destroy someone else. Is it a tragedy that people die in war? Yes. People die all the time; we all will at some point. Their deaths will have not been in vain if the war they fought made humans as a whole advance to new levels of discovery. |
