Rare metals and elements may be worthwhile for planet habitation/mining. A lot of next gen tech like nuclear fusion is suboptimal due to lack of resources on Earth.

We have had a continuous presence in space for almost 18 years now on the ISS. A lunar or Martian colony is only a matter of resources, not tech.

we've had a continuous presence on Antarctica for longer but Villa Las Estrellas isn't exactly a popular place to live

There is no actual worthwhile reason to live there other than research, which is still debated in the case of space.

I think rare mineral element is absolutely worth it. Otherwise yes: the cost serves humanity better on Earth infrastructure.
