Meanwhile, there are areas of this planet which are totally unsustainable at varying levels (including industrialized countries), other areas being totally fucked (again, including industrialized countries), around 16,000 kids dying of starvation daily (and increasing), a billion people live on less than $1 per day and many more dying simply thru inadequate and often simple healthcare. The number of "rich" populations (with adequate resources - tho these many be leeched from the poor) is 1 billion, compared to over 5 billion "poor" (with insufficent resources).
As a planet it may appear we have a lot to learn before attempting to transfer this fuck up elsewhere and it may be more appropriate to address that now than speculate in conquering space. Gaining further knowledge of other planets is not an issue - dealing with our own planet leaves plenty work to be done.
Sure.. they may never be a cure for all diseases. Further diseases most likely will be created in the future.

i am going to school you on some 6th grade science. the way Copernicus discovered the world was round was by observing the stars and the planets. at the time this may have sounded ridiculous, wasting time looking at the sky -there was wars going on somewhere!
let me repeat something, THEY STILL THOUGHT THE FUCKING EARTH WAS FLAT.
nobody knew what his theories would lead to. it turns out the fucking earth really is round.
let me recap for you, the guy was the first person to say that the fucking earth wasn't flat. look around, shit looks flat to me.
now that we know the earth is round and you know everything, there must not be anything else for us to figure out. looking past idiots like yourself on earth has solved world problems before, i guess you know it's not going to happen again
