Given the number of light years we are from anything and the absence of warp drive or suspended animation, I don't think we're leaving the solar system anytime soon.
We will definitely depart the solar system soon, soon as reckoned by geological time, it's just that we may not actually arrive anywhere else, ever.

Uh, In the long run, our planet absolutely certainly won't look after us. Our dear Mother Earth has a curriculum vitae of lethal child abuse that would make The worst psychopaths blanch.

Why can't we do both?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yes we could, but still there is a lot wasted on a planet that can not really support life such as us, its simply curiosity, and as they say, curiosity killed the cat.

I would gladly leave the solar system. If we had spacecraft that can transport humans in search for habital planets outside our solar system, sign me up for the 12th mission. The first couple would probably be sucide missions.

No, gravity is an evil lie made up by Atheists who deny our lord, the flying spaghetti monster (praise be his noodle) In fact there is no gravity on mars or earth, everything is held down by his invisible noodily appendages. Stop believing what you were taught by evil secularists who have poisoned our school system.

Having done no research I can confidently say that the main reason we are trying to get a man on Mars is because we think it will be cool. Colonisation is the rationalisation, perhaps. Fucking waste of money.

Because we have limited resources?
