To me, it feels like a further step in advancing human civilization. Disperse the population a bit and keep growing as a species. That said, I’m no expert and if you have literature to recommend please do!

Okay so the problem with space travel is numerous and I don’t believe we’ll see anything beyond reaching Mars and the Moon in our lifetime.
First thing, we need everyone on board to back NASA and be intelligent enough to figure out where exactly what we want to do. We keep finding these earth-like exoplanets, so why not start there?
The other thing is, to achieve the level of space travel we need, on the levels of where Voyager-1 and Voyager-2 is going in length of space, we’d need to spend significant time and resources building the materials and ships needed for that kind of travel.
Like I said, this won’t be done in our lifetime. We’re probably several lifetimes out.
Those earth-like exoplanets are many light years away. They’re not just a hop past mars and we may never be able to reach them (cue people jumping in talking generation ships that we don’t know if we will ever be able to build ).
There are other possible places in our solar system though, depending on how many problems we’re able to solve, notably large water moons of the gas giants
So yeah, systematic, gradually reach farther, moon—>mars—>space stations—> water moons, over a few centuries. I’m sure each step will be harder than the last but we can dream we can grow we can meet challenges …. Until we cant
Yeah, id agree with ya unfortunately
