Oh I'm not saying we force people to do space jobs or livings, only that it should wayyyyy more accessible and common than it currently is and certain sectors of the economy will need to support that. It gives us more of what we can't realistically create on Earth, which is more land.
The American dream is a challenge for people now. If we advance to where it's no longer a challenge because the pieces of that are plentiful and cheap and is given to everyone by virtue of existing, then we need a higher challenge because we've essentially "solved survival on Earth" and must now expand. IMO it's way better than just becoming an economy that focuses on producing luxuries or inventing new financial gadgets.
