I see space exploration/colonization more as two people simultaneously working on something, sharing notes.
If one of them suffers a catastrophic event that results in the permanent loss of all data - guess what, the other person has this and can restore the other guy's data!
Very simplistic analogy, but still. I might not care much for Humanity but I think it'd be a terrible thing to lose to an event like a meteor
