Good move.
Stupid to stick to one planet.
I’d rather have my tax dollars going to that than to regime change or foreign aid.
Venus is,out. 800 degree surface temp and it rains sulfuric acid. No real minerals we cant find other places.
If we go we go outwards. Europa is probably the best chance of finding interesting stuff. Mars could be made a good outpost refuelling hop/stop in between. Potential there but probably not on a terraforming level, just not enough gravity to hold onto an atmosphere.
