Not trying to troll here but from what I see of this man is nothing more than a bloated self absorbed ego. He's researching technologies that will destroy the jobs of millions and wasting resources to try and go to a dead planet to look at rocks.
You are missing the point. This world will end at some point. The timeline is huge but it will end. So he is trying to extend the timeline of mankind past that point. Pretty cool in this perspective.
