My research mentor was always very clear that astronomy was made to be used, and that if you weren't practical about it, what good was it?
Magic, too.
But yes. If we manage a world where there's leisure for exploration, as opposed to just not-dying, I've a long list of things I'd love more time with. This very much among them.
(I found a fascinating older text - I mean, about 16th century - that mostly isn't relevant, but some of the applications might be, if we were doing something entirely different about protections, I mean.)
