There are certainly always important things going on at home (Earth). I am not suggesting that these will always be more important than manned space flight; I'm suggesting that they are more important at this time. Are you saying that prioritizing manned space flight, above all else, is always a good idea? If not, what priorities have you before manned spaceflight? What's the rush? Are you concerned with climate change? Is the answer to it to move on from Earth, instead of _first_ trying to nurse it back to health?

Not everyone on this planet shares the same priority.
Even if you wanted to, you cannot force everyone to share same priority.
We have the will and motive to do multiple things simultaneously.
