Nobody has posted anything concerning men yet. Men don't need to do half (or more) the things they do. From a functional point of view, many big projects such as the buiding of the Acropolis or the Eiffel tower, making submarines to reach -11000m in depth, climb to the top of Everest, travel to the Moon, are all things more or less useless (apart from the scientific gain). Man doesn't need to do them, but when he can, he does. There's a natural urge towards doing something that will remain in the future for the generations to come, for the memory to remain.
