We are still exploring. As a matter of fact we have done more exploration now then we did during the heydays of the Mercury to Apollo days.I really see a lack of imagination and a defeatist attitude running through this thread.
Humans will eventually spread throughout the solar system and beyond.
Exploration is part of our DNA and survival instincts. When we deny that need to explore and spread our reach we will falter as a species.
We are just doing it smarter now. The human factor has been removed until technology catches up.
We have found tons of planets around stars, photographed & done spectrographical analysis of our entire solar system. We have made lots of new cosmological discoveries and furthered fundamental physics.
Remember there was more computing power in an Atari game machine then there was in the lunar module.
