I agree that the science done in space with humans is negligible. All good space science is done with robots.
What is done in space with humans is entirely different. We prove the technology necessay to support humans in space. This is very important in the evolution of the human race. We have to diversify ourselves from just one planet. The whole planet could get wiped at any moment. The goal of the human race is to explore and learn more about the world we live in. This includes earth and the universe.
Many in the scientific community think ISS is a waste of money. I disagree. ISS advances the technology for humans leaving earth.

7 days in week because there were 7 visible "planets" (wanderer in greek).
sun - sunday
moon - monday
venus - friday
mars - tuesday
jupiter - thursday
saturn - saturday
mercury - wednesday
- 12 hours in day because of 12 zodiac symbols that could be seen by sleeping out all night long. Add in 12 for the day that we couldnt see.
- 12 zodiac symbols because the night sky moves
one zodiac symbol in one lunation. Or 12 for a full year.
- 360 degrees in a circle because the sun moves 1 degree per day on the sky. or 360 days in a year.
- 60 minutes in an hour? I'll try a stab at this. something to do with 12 and 360. or 6 and 360 because if you sleep out at night 6 zodiac symbols appear on the eastern horizon thru a night.
SORRY FOR THE BAD FORMATTING IN THE PREVIOUS MSG FIRST TIME POSTING - sorry to shout also

Each point is 1.04nm apart at 89 deg N/S.
60nm*2*pi/360=1.04
This doesnt account for the 1/f or 1/298 earth flatenning from the equator to the poles.
