What is the point of doing that other than as a stunt?
Ultimately, it is a required step which must be learned for the survival of the human species, for anyone who cares about it. The Earth is a cradle for humanity, but humanity must either leave the cradle or die and become extinct when the conditions in the cradle inevitably become too inhospitable for continued survival.
The level of human population, economic, and technological development required to establish self-sustaining communities of humans beyond the Earth are so great, it may not be possible to reproduce those conditions again in the event a great catastrophe were to result in another great Dark Ages. The easily recovered resources have already been depleted, and the next global civilization may or may not be able to mount the effort required to sustain an effort to establish colonies beyond the Earth. If so, then the present global civilization may be the only opportunity for the human species to preserve itself from eventual early extinction by maintaining self-sustaining colonies in the outer Solar System and beyond.
Learning how to use asteroids as a natural resource, shelter, and transportation system is a required skill for survival.
