Space exploration and protecting the environment are not mutually exclusive. In fact, like you mentioned, they complement each other nicely.
What I'm pointing at is that space exploration is not as big of an achievement as fixing "bad human tendencies", however, strangely almost nobody is talking about that. Instead space travel for many people is becoming some kind of silver bullet for humanity's future.
