What are the benefits of space exploration to humankind that can justify the huge expenses for these?
Sooner or later, Earth is going to either be overrun by aliens, overpopulated by us, destroyed in a cataclysmic explosion, or made uninhabitable by the 'death' of the Sun. Therefore, it makes sense to have somewhere to go and know how to get and stay there (alive).
Looking directly at the sun can cause?
Staring at the sun is extremely dangerous and it will cause permanent damage to the eye. Will you go blind after staring at the sun one time? Well, when permanent loss of vision is under discussion, isn't even a little blindness more than enough to justify taking precautions. It is possible to stare at the sun without going completely blind, but chances are, some major damage will be done. Just like the skin, the eye is an extremely sensitive area that can be burned by the sun's ultraviolet rays.
How can you justify spending 6 billion dollars on the Hubble telescope?
Virtually every modern imaging device used today, be it medical imaging, digital cameras, solid-state drives, Lithium-Ion batteries, and many other technological advancements owes its existence to technology created or further developed for HST. Life as we know it today would not be the same without the technology created for HST's experiments, operational systems, imaging systems, repair tools, materials/mechanical/electronics engineering, etc. That's in addition to what we've also learned about our own planet, solar system, galaxy, the existence of other planets, etc. 6 billion is actually pocket change compared to budgets for other technological systems that give nowhere near the ROI that HST does.
What supplies would you need to live on planet Jupiter?
Since the planet Jupiter is not at all suited to human life, you would need a complete life support system to live there, and even then it would be extremely difficult due to the high gravity. You might have to live inside a large tank of water, with scuba gear, so that your bouyancy would counteract the gravity. Obviously this would be very hard to do for any prolonged period. More likely, a human presence on Jupiter (if such a thing should ever be thought important enough to justify the extreme effort that it would require) would involve genetically engineered people with special adaptations to the high gravity - and even they would still need a complete life support system.
It's possible to rent time of hubble telescope?
Not rent per se, but civilians can request and be granted observation time, though it's very limited. Most HST observation time is granted in advance to Astrophysics and Astronomy teams based on submitted proposals, as well as their association with countries that helped build and maintain HST. However, the Space Telescope Science Institute (the unit that controls HST and its observations here in Maryland at Johns Hopkins) Director has 10% of "Director's Discretionary (DD) allocation time" for HST observations. The Director on occasion does grant use to civilians, though they must go through the same submission procedure as any scientist would, and any submission must clearly justify use of HST. Using it to observe women on the beach in Maui is not considered justifiable use. Besides, that's what submarine periscopes are for. You can read more about it at the link below.

Do you feel that the social cultural and commercial benefits of expansion justify the environmental costs?
It depends on the specific expansion project and its impact on the environment. In some cases, the benefits may outweigh the costs if proper mitigation measures are put in place to minimize environmental harm. However, in other cases, the environmental costs may be too significant to justify the expansion. It is essential to carefully weigh these factors before making a decision.
