You’re going to die on earth anyway.
Exploration of space is inevitable. People on mainland throughout history asked those same questions about the Arctic, the Marianas Trench, about every single lethal earthly place as yet unexplored. Every single trip was dangerous, and many MANY trips ended in disaster. Every single one contributed to this amazing species’ knowledge and power...

Space is a pipe dream that this point. You can say it's inevitable but honestly, we have our own problems to solve on earth first before we can ever go to space.
ok... i mean, your thought process is stalling out at an arbitrary point that i didn't even consider.
to get you going again, the point is: if those dangerous places on earth can't be managed well, why bother trying somewhere that is years' travel time away? It takes a day or less to get from anywhere to anywhere on the planet now, and we can't maintain in those areas.
The answer to “why bother” lies in the DNA of those who explore, the evolution that quickens in is all somehow, the cool ass tech and techniques we pick up. Look up what technology the space industry has given mankind already, and you’ll be surprised...

You aren’t a reader I can tell. Try solving that problem first.
