Yes, absolutely. Space has such amazing potential for the human race. Sure, we won't live to see most of the benefits of it, but it's important for us to start getting on with it so later generations can.
The only problem is that I want my tax dollars going toward it when we can AFFORD it. We can't afford it now.
As for the FTL debate, this is pretty much semantics. I'm saying there's a way to get somewhere faster than you could if you travelled there at light speed in normal space. It's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
