What will we do on other planets? Begin building new infrastructure to colonize more planets? I think that's a philosophy of a virus dressed in a shiny space suit with NASA logo on it.
Exploration is great and it's worth pursuing, but making it a main goal and coincidently (or on purpose) an excuse for ruining our only real existing livable planet is I think wrong.
