I feel discoveries made by astronomy have been worth the time and effort. Stellar navigation helped us travel around the world. It revolutionized the way we see the world (ie. we travel around the sun, we are not at the centre of the universe). Astronomy resulted in space travel, from which we have satellites, superpens, and many discoveries that were made possible because of the vacuum and zero-gravity of space (well relative zero-gravity at least). More stuff about how great astronomy is here. Some stuff about how space travel has benifited the average citizen. Tie-in back to astronomy. Conclusion.
