Speed matters somewhat, in that we might overpopulate, or use up fossil fuel or helium or other resources, in a way so that the difficulty of escaping Earth continues to be just beyond us.
But this is all talking of instrumental value. I don’t want to talk about instrumental value here.
The time we have is primarily limited by the same scientific progress, so what matters is sanity of what we do, not speed.
