Because some communities have no grid access, especially in e.g. India the utilities never found it profitable to build power lines out to outlying communities. Now those communities can have their own reliable (and clean!) power source, no grid connection required. With distributed generation the main grid can go away in many places.

Shuttle is large. It's meant to haul a huge amount of cargo, plus seven people. Definitely jaw-droppingly worth doing is visiting an Apollo rocket, say the one at NASA Houston. Now that's big. Then think about the size of the cargo area (3 humans) compared to the rest of the rocket. Jaw hits floor!
