Well it's a step in the direction. If you can get that to work then maybe you can then figure out the other stuff afterwards.

Climbing a tree is useful for going to the moon. Having access to heights from which to drop things is a prerequisite step for the first experiments that lead to an understanding of gravity and acceleration ;).

In the same sense that flying to orbit is a step to getting to the Moon. We did Mercury before Apollo.
