Size doesn't matter. Do the planets get to enjoy a pleasent dinner ? no. Can the asteroids feel love ? no. Can a sun give the feeling of excitement when you hug and kiss someone ? no.
Which means they are just props dangling around the zero gravity space for nothing. Which actually tells us that we are the most important thing in the universe. Without us, who cares if universe exists or not.

Perhaps soon we will abandon our reckless quest for wealth and personal profit, act more like a species and work for the better of Humanity.

Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment.[1] Love is also said to be a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection —"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another".[2] Love may describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals.[3]

I agree. Perhaps we should meet up and create
a nation with the sole purpose of furthering the
development of mankind. And making space rockets of course, we need rockets.

"My sides" already covered this somewhat, but I'm afraid I'm coming to believe in the "Newtype Hypothesis" more and more. I can't see any way that humankind can step off the surface of this earth for good without a truly unified world standing behind our pioneers (even now, with the most distant explorers living a mere 300 kilometers above the surface of our planet--less than a dozen times higher than the tallest mountains, our most successful attempts at long term habitation beyond the surface of the Earth have been backed up by the cooperation of major world governments: particularly the International Space Station--but I digress). Then, even with permanent residents of space, I can't see any way to expect them to go very far unless some dire catastrophe were to strike the earth (say, a Colony Drop). That, or the Newtypes become the Ousters, and at that point what we've done is more like "seeding the galaxy with life" than actually exploring as a cohesive "mankind."

by the time we have to leave it will likely be too late for a sustainable large-scale evacuation cum permanent colonies.

most people are too irritated by the idea of paying the higher taxes or a few extra cents per gallon at the pump.

what chance do you have to convince them that colonizing the galaxy may be essential for our future survival if politicians themselves will make a 1% tax hike seem like Armageddon if it will help their careers?

you know what's strange, is i think religion can help here.
just like the scientists during the Islamic Golden Age and the Renaissance were spurred by motivations of their religion to develop and learn, so too may some religious ideology be the only thing that can motivate people thru inconvenience.
