Yes, I believe that assuming we don't screw everything up and actually survive the current climate catastrophe relatively unscathed, ecosystem repair and light space exploration would happen pretty much in parallel. Not necessarily because they need to, mind you, but because it won't be long before the need for ecosystem repair becomes apparent enough to shoot it high up on people's priority list.
