No, let's not stop exploring and learning. Let's just do it with metal and plastic, and not meat. Robots do great in space, humans don't.
All that mass could be scientific equipment instead of air, food and water and a return vehicle. Robots don't care about going home, after all. We could learn more thing for less money, instead of dick measuring by sending humans.
What about learning how to transport humans in space so we can eventually get some of our eggs out of this one basket?
