Can you expain to us which of humanity's needs will be met by colonizing a planet that doesn't have a functioning magnetosphere? How will we deal with the lack of shielding for solar radiation in such a way that will create a living environment that is 'meeting our needs' in a manner that can't be accomplished on Earth?
Thats not an Ethical question. Thats a practicality one. What need that would be met is the same that was met by exploring the new world 500 years ago. A base for expansion and boost of moral.
And above all, a fallback for the human species in the likely even of an eventual global catastrophe
