Personally I've just become resigned to the fact that I will never visit space since I'm not a billionaire nor friends with one. JWST is sending back some nice desktop backgrounds, but otherwise why should I care? We might colonize the moon, but it won't affect my life at all. It's like how there might be aliens out there: it doesn't actually matter to 99.9999% of people's lives
