Wall Street Journal: Commercial/residential development of outer space?

Why should we take a risky (physically, financially, environmentally) undertaking as space exploration and development? Look at the condition of the United States now, not to mention the whole world. That is exactly why I believe we should explore outer space and why it is worth such enormous risks. I do not believe for one minute we can stop the financial collapse of the United States, nuclear war, and so one. Contrary to outer space being our next fun playground for hotels and amusement parks, there are more dire reasons for doing this. Does anyone know what companies are more serious about this and which are open to investment?

Would you support the building of a manned moon base?

People on the Wall Street Journal website sharing their opinions on the subject.
