It's not made out of cheese like we initially hoped?
Space travel is hard.
The point is, we have to try. The sooner we are independent of Earth, the better.
So what if it takes a few trillion dollars of effort and resources?
A few trillion dollars could be invested here on infrastructure, wildlife clean up, schools, etc. We have one earth and we are doing a terrible job of taking care of it, especially for how rare it is in the universe. I don't understand this need to be independent of earth. I know people who are 40 years old that still live with their parents. Let's focus on that.
