Lots of stuff out there to go and get and bring back.
Which in turn triggers lots of demand for R&D and infrastructure. Also, opportunities for piggy-backing science onto commerical ventures– I’d be willing to bet a small that asteroid miners find out more about asteroid in a decade than the whole of science has found out in 10,000 years.
I’m also interested in what having access to space-borne rare materials does to geo-politics. Probably puts a ceiling price on the economic blackmail and reduces the incentives for colonialism.

If it's even slightly economic then that at least gives us a reason to start building a space elevator :->
(Which will also require all sorts of future-o-tech.)
