Yes that's true. I'm quite sure mankind will find ways to colonize space one day.
I would definitely like to be on a spaceship, approaching a distant galaxy, gaze out the window and see a beautiful new planet to call home, with glowing nebulas in the background.
But in the meantime, we can only hope people will learn to coexist in peace and harmony. Should a nuclear war break out, it could literally set us back to the stone age and put an end to any thoughts of space travel for a very long time.
Also, take the money pumped into the war effort, which is in the billions. Supposing that was channeled into space research instead, we can only imagine how much more advanced we would be now.
