Oh I know that a "future in between the stars" is going to be extremely complicated and hard, if possible at all. Going to live on Mars is already close to a pipe dream yeah.
But that doesn't mean that space exploration and travel itself is bad. There are loads of reasons why it's good and necessary and we should invest more in it; take money from the military instead.
