I feel, that being on one the few planets in the Galaxy with bountiful life, we should spread it across a mostly dead Universe. Humanity could find a purpose beyond making a tiny amount of us rich, we could bring Life to the cosmos.

I'm glad we're having this conversation now. I believe Humanity could find a purpose beyond mere survival, and that is to bring Life to a mostly dead and empty Universe.
But how dead is that Universe, we'll have to go out there and find out before we starting building biospheres on worlds such as Enceladus.
It's time we had better goals in life than raping this planet for money.
