The whole "let's by insurance for humankind" story is totally valid in my opinion.

This article is however very useful to bring pragmatism to the discussion.

Maybe the best insurance for humankind is to start shipping a continuous stream of robots to Mars to prepare human landing in many (many) years.

We could buy insurance for humankind underground here on Earth much sooner and much cheaper. Plus that could kick start post human Eloi so win win.
