Yes, I am excited. I see space travel more as a noble goal, than an actual way to save the human race, and just as flight in Earth's atmosphere took us induldging upon a number of evolutionary steps (most of them failures) space travel is something that we have to tackle and fail at in order to eventually succeed at it. Likely, that will be in the distant future, but that future will only be possible if we are willing to embrace our ignorance now.
