At least until we can travel it easily and mine various planets and moons. Most of the available monies should, in my opinion, be spent on research into propulsion systems. Until we can visit other solar systems, we are just running around in our own backyard like children, turning over logs to find salamanders.
We have to start somewhere. There are plenty of mysteries in our own backyard to unravel.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
