I never realized people thought the ultimate goal behind those funding space travel was anything other than to get to more resources. You can see it in explanations of long term goals of spending on a space program in propaganda videos going back more than 50 years.

In the beginning space exploration was used to justify public funds for the development of intercontinental missiles and the industrial military complex. Now it's used to justify space capitalism.
