I don't see it as a waste of time at all. The objects in our solar system are the closest alien worlds for a very very very long while. There's a multitude of moons out there with intriguing characteristics and anatomies. We could learn a hell of a lot from exploring the solar system.
Like FNM said, we have to start somewhere.
