In terms of Western science, there is certainly no justification to spend billions to send space probes to other celestial bodies and planets. When asked, the people involved mention some fantasy about colonizing other planets. Excuse me? That is easily as far-fetched as the Maharishi Effect, in terms of technology's ability to fulfill such an undertaking. Perhaps in several centuries, but not any time soon, given the magnitude of such an undertaking. Yet, because we can send a robot to Mars, no one questions the veracity of such a fantasy, and the continued billions spent. I don't know who you've been listening to, but I don't believe it's scientists who are actually involved in the space probe missions. The vast majority will agree that colonization is an extremely long-term goal, one that they aren't even thinking about currently. They're much too busy making use of their findings and technology to benefit life on earth. Have a look at this from NASA. See if you can find any mention of colonization.
