>There is literally nothing but rocks out there. We need to fix the problems on earth before burning up money
Some of those rocks are metals, so outsourcing our productions from under the atmpsphere into space (to make our own rings more visible maybe) can solve some of ecology problems down here. Asteroid mining sounds like a great idea (and a true intent beyond precise engines they engineer as if for reusable rockets) though it's not my field of expertise, I'm only guessing.
Sending humans into space will be recognized as an atrocious idea, especially when humans will become potentially immortal (soon)
Going into space via robot-avatars, sending to our senses the visions and receiving from us communds to go and do something (with a ping, but also with safety)
Those martian caves are waiting for a orbiter sending there robotic snakes. Those snakes have to set transmitters at the edge of the cave and being attached to it by a firm cable, explore those caves as long as that cable lets it. Or to leave a cable hanging with another transmitter, so they can explore further whether being connected to that cable by some wi-fi or to use their own recording device when they're getting off the wifi range.
