Why do we need to justify it? We are human. We are explorers. It is what we do. If we needed a valid reason to do everything, we wouldn't have done anything. We would still be sitting around in caves, beating animals to death, and foraging for berries, Age of Empires style. It works for every other animal, and it worked for us for 700,000 years. Why change? Because we are human. Why moon? Because moon.
