Is flying a helicopter on Mars arrogance? Launching reusable space launch vehicles that boost back to the landing site arrogance? I don't believe so. These are engineering challenges to be surmounted, just as safe robotic vehicles are a challenge, and its reasonable (I'd argue) for us as a species to drive towards solutions (no pun intended).
Silicon Valley isn't going to suddenly become less arrogant, but that doesn't mean the problems they attempt to solve don't need solving. Incentives are important to coax innovation in a way that balances life safety with progress, and I concede the incentives in place likely need improvement.
