I don't see a business case for Moon or Mars colonies.

Astroid mining only makes sense if you are supporting some other off-Earth business.

Telecom will likely swarm LOE, but venture capital is likely going to be tight for then next 20 years + with the retirement of the Babey Boomers so that is hard to say.

If micro-G industry or orbital power ever become viable then things will change but that is a big if.

With the Baby Boomers retiring and deglobalization, venture capital is already starting to dry up.

The stories I have heard, advanced directives are nice to have, but they are not going to stop someone from overriding your wishes.

>It's not expected for us to recover these in the future, but they will provide good purposes for search for extraterrestrial artifacts (SETA) missions mounted by other civilizations far from us.

That may not be a good thing. While we only have Earth and humans as an example, when a more advanced civilization encounters a less advanced civilization, most of the time, it does not end well for the less advanced civilization.
