Do you believe there will be a bustling new supply chain frontier?

physics teacher gave me 1 minute to tell him how astronomy was interesting

first time here Alright so 2 days ago I had a interview with my physics teacher to become the head of a science club in school and he asked me a question that has been bugging me since and I literally think of it in my sleep He told me "You have one minute to convince me how astronomy is interesting" and I was clueless :/. I told him that dont you ever question how this universe is there, or how it happend and he was like " no I have a easy life I dont want to think like that" LIKE?????

How do you think I should have answered? because I literally cant get it out of my head
