Why do we experiment in Space?

Andreas Mogensen is leaving for the International Space Station again. This time for half a year! This happens at a time when the world is drowning in various crises. So why are we spending time and money up there in space when there is so much to fix down here on earth?
You can hopefully learn a bit about that in this video, where we also take a deeper look at two of the experiments that Andreas will carry out on his trip to the International Space Station.
