Necessity if the mother of all inventions which could indicate an external driving force like you focus on in your reply, but necessity is equally found internally, to challenge the mind and to find or expose the true nature of oneself. Not meant to be poetic, but it could be.
Inventing or "to boldly go where no man has gone before" isn't always about financial gain or recovery, sometimes its to push boundary's of what is possible or meaningful. Science have never been about financial gain, science has always been about expanding the mind and our collective understanding of oneself in this universe.

But thanks for sharing
