Yes, it's not really feasible at this point to measure and experiment with gravitational waves. However, it does scientifically confirm a part of Einsteins theory of relativity.
This could cause us to better understand the theory or more importantly help us understand what Einstein got wrong or something that needs to be expanded on that he didn't in his theory. If space is not constant, that's a whole new field of possibilities.
