I vote we explore and conquer (and btw lay claim). Without property rights there will be no private exploitation.

That's right.

There is next to no private exploitation of celestial resources. There is probably a good reason why not, and it isn't the lack of transportation. It is the lack of private property rights. No private investor will invest without guarantee of ownership of whatever is developed, and so we are stuck until it is possible to claim celestial resources.
