Also, survival aside, I'm of the opinion that "just because" is a perfectly valid reason to set up colonies, terraform planets etc. I wasn't born for the moon landing. I feel like I'm going to be upset if I make it to old age and we haven't accomplished anything as great as that in my lifetime.

this is where I'm saying people are totally brainwashed into thinking the moon landing is greater than, I don't know, the development of the first compiler. The first compiler dwarfs the moon landing in terms of implications. More recently I would put alphago beating human grandmasters at go ahead of the moon landing. I would put crispr ahead of the moon landing. I would put the current progress on self driving cars ahead of the moon landing.
