I'm assuming you mean "unable to achieve escape velocity [with chemical engines]" because without those brackets they just don't go into space.

With those brackets I guess they eventually build a better way to deliver payloads into orbit, an electromagnetic catapult for instance, or some other technological marvel/loophole if they really needed to get something into space.

But in reality it's pretty likely the just don't bother. For the most part space exploration is really mostly pointless, there's really very little reason to bother with it except to please astrogeologists and astronomers (who mainly rely on telescopes anyways).

>How much shit can you even know about space without being able to literally see it from another angle?\

Nearly everything that we currently as a civilization know. For the most part the distances in space are so vast even if you moved a telescope outside of the solar system it would still be like looking at it from the same angle

very slowly

But you can't go to space without achieving escape velocity. Those are the rules.

nice try satan, we are going to mars and then when we die you cant drag us into the Earths core.

Don't be silly, hell isn't in the earth's core.

It's on Venus beneath the 900 degree clouds of sulfuric acid.
