If I bought your basically off the shelf argument I might agree with most of your comments. I'm highly skeptical of that claim however without a detailed plan to review.

Whether or not anything is being oversold is highly subjective. I think most people are promoting these programs out of sincere beliefs. In many cases they do seem to have inflated views of their value. I think few benefits mentioned are important enough or sure enough to justify any of the proposed programs. All I do know is that mankind or its descendants are eventually doomed if we don't move off Earth. I think it is reasonable that we will derive a great many nearer term benefits by doing so. With a wealth of potential benefits, it is worth reaching out and finding which ones will pan out.

Regards,
Mark
