I'm an astronaut! We're trained to explore parts beyond our planet to explore what else might be out there. We still haven't been able to get beyond our neighbor planet and our moon, but the fact that we got that far is amazing on its own! Our space technology is continuously evolving and growing; I've got no doubt that in the next hundred years or so, we'll be able to explore space in ways that scientists can only dream of!

So - Yeah! That's my job.
