When we have the results of our future exploration of outer space, will we turn inward to explore Earth Inside, do we have the ability to do so now? Or maybe in the future, it's possible to have the ability to explore Earth, Inside

We'll likely never have the "results" of fully exploring outer space.

What do you mean by exploring Earth? In what way? To what ends?
Explore the energy inside, and perhaps discover something new, like new life forms. (I am not good at professional knowledge in this area, please forgive me, I am just a 15-year-old science and astronomy enthusiast)
 
We can only see and measure the end result….. of the “big picture”. The stuff that makes matter is too small to see directly. Plus there are invisible EM fields around the matter, which can not be seen.

So we are working with stuff that we can not see. We can’t see what matter looks like….. or how it moves.

Even if the EM fields around matter could be seen, we still could not see it, because it is too weak.

In order to see matter…….. it has to be a flux of matter to see it. One piece is too small.

We need millions of specs of matter to see it. A flux of it. A density of it.

Same with light and other EM fields. We can not see one photon, we need millions of them to see them. We need a flux of light to see it. A density of light to be able to see it. Which we call the intensity of light.

You are 15 yrs old. If you want to understand matter and energy, study electronics. Don’t just read about it. Do it. Get a breadboard and start building circuits. Learn to work with invisible EM fields.

All physical interaction is thru invisible EM fields. One piece of matter never touches another piece of matter. Only the fields touch.

Exploring space by humans will go on as long as our species survives, and then it will continue through other species.
It will take longer than your lifetime to fully explore and understand our oceans.
I would give each long and serious consideration, both in career opportunities, and work environments. Good Fortune for a good future.

It’s gonna take a lot of money, a lot of time and a lot of sacrifice to explore our solar system. Right now this is on the probe level. Many believe manned mission are necessary. That will cost and take much more time. And sacrifice.

I seriously doubt any will leave this system.

Here’s the problem. Say we found a star with life 100 LY away. And say we could travel at c.

That star we see now, is where that star was 100 yrs ago. We have no idea where that star is now.

And we would have to know where that star will be, 100 yrs from now…... to meet it.

If you miss it and nothing is there….. when you go back from where you come….. nothing will be there. You are lost.

One would have to know where things are now, and where things will be 100 yrs from now.

I don’t think we can do that.

Totally feel the weight of what you’re describing — space is massive, and the stakes are high.
But just to add a little light to the dark:

We can actually calculate stellar positions hundreds or even thousands of years into the future.
Stars don’t move randomly — they follow gravitational trajectories we’ve been modeling for decades.

Missions like Gaia have already mapped the proper motion and velocity of millions of stars.
So if we could travel at light speed (or even a fraction of it), we wouldn’t be navigating blind —
we’d have extremely precise predictive maps, way more accurate than anything we use for space probes today.

The real challenges aren’t in the math — they’re in propulsion, shielding, and surviving the ride.
But the where?
That’s the easy part.
