Aye, there's many threats to our survival, but a lot of those threats are other humans. So if nothing else, space exploration may offer a way to get the dodgy humans off the planet.
It's useless to invest any hope in space exploration as a problem solving thing whilst orbit is still controlled by the military people. Space migration could be lovely or it could suck big style. But you'll never get me living in a bloody big floaty space thing. Mebbe a quick holiday though...
Space tourist advert:-
Always wanted to see the world?
There it is down there, all of it!
