100%- but only if all the facts are presented to the entirety of the human race.
it's not fair government higher-ups be limited to advances in our quest for knowledge.
there is much speculation as to what information people in the general population are given, and what is actually known.

Space exploration is as important now as Oceanic exploration was in 1492.
We are only beginning to understand and exploit a rich new territory.
Imagine a world where no one left Asia or Europe of Africa. Sure humanity would survive, but wht kind of world would it be?
Much poorer to be certain.
maybe the Aztecs would have ended discovering everyone else!
Of Course that has ominous connotations in the context of space exploration!

Yes it would be great if we could figure out how to colonize certain celestial bodies and even move to other solar systems on Giant moving space Colonies like the aircraft carriers that we use to cross the oceans, we could build the same type of thing but a Big space ship where we could rely on nuclear power and grow crops with artificial sunlight.

Absolutely. At the very least, we will be able to colonize the moon or even Mars someday and in doing so would assure our longevity should a major catastrophe strike the Earth. Not to mention the new materials and medicines that can be derived from science conducted outside the influence of the Earth's gravity.

Absolutely! I think that it would be plain ignorant if we just focused on our little bubble in this great expanse of space. Just like the great explorers coming to North America, we too must push our boundaries. But maybe this time we can learn from our mistakes and if we find life elswhere, we won't destroy them just for our own selfish gain.

Yes, but not by NASA.
It is time for civilians and private citizens to venture into space via privately funded and decentralized efforts such as Space Ship One.
If everyday people cannot go into space and colonize it, we will be doomed to die on this planet.

That's like asking: Is food necessary?
To humans, curiosity and the advancement of knowledge are just as important as food and water. We thrive on it... life would be pretty boring without wonder and learning wouldn't it?
