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.
On the other hand, We should let we find in our solar system inform just how much investment we put into our propulsion system reseach right now.
