Because some of us want the hope of getting the hell out of here one day.

  With "getting the hell out of here" do you mean humanity in general or you personally. If you personally: Do you really think public spacetravel will advance that much in our lifetimes? Personally I hope so, but I also doubt it will happen.

    I expect it to advance far enough that I could get off of earth personally. However the competition for free (read government funded positions) will be fierce: I'm more likely to buy the winning lottery ticket 10 times in a row. Multi-billionaires will probably be able to buy a trip.

  In all likelihood, you'd be leaving this nice, hospitable planet with flora and fauna for an oversized dusty rock.

    Nevermind rocks, I would be glad to just even drift in space.
