Disclaimer: I very much agree with the sentiment of the comment you responded to. I don't even plan on having kids or anything. I just imagine a dark and boring universe deprived of humanity drifting off towards it's icy death with nothing to replace us.
Also, even though it doesn't eliminate our ability to wipe ourselves out, that it's a a step towards setting that capability back a few decades is also beneficial (it should be very easy to identify and destroy long-range nukes in space).
May take longer than 10 years to the prices get low enough for those some people that want to pay. But a suicide mission to Mars is very likely. And won't bring us any closer to definitively living in space - investments on our next models of smartphones will probably be more relevant.
