Asteroids are even better for resource utilization. They might be far away in space but a lot closer by delta vee, and they can be reached, mined and escaped with low maximum thrust, meaning very efficient propulsion methods can be used. This discussion just goes around in the same stupid circles for decades. We know so many better ways of doing things, but they can not be done for political / PR reasons.
