Not at first. The first tasks would be making sure all are housed, fed, and can lead decent lives where work is meaningful and necessary.

But even while that’s going on we would have a great number of people who would be better off doing minimum work and pursuing other interests. Much of the “work” under capitalism is just detrimental to ourselves and our environment.

Space travel would become meaningful and achievable again as it would not need to find a reason to be profitable. We would free to combine our global resources, to share technology and pursue space travel for the simple pursuits of exploration and survival.

It would actually inspire many people to pursue and take an interest in Space travel when they’re not forced to live as slaves doing meaningless jobs building plastic trinkets or figuring out how to get money out of people on mindless phone games.

And the goal would not just be for some competing companies to stick flags on rocks or mine asteroids to make more useless trinkets.

So I think it would become a great focus as we’d no longer be toiling just to live another day and would be asking greater questions about our place in the universe.
