    I’ve always thought the primary goal should be that of making this species a space fairing one.

    What? Why??

      Because ultimately if we don’t leave this rock we go extinct. Guaranteed.

      Not who you replied to but I agree with their sentiment and will tell you why.

      1: At the rate at which we’re destroying it, our planet won’t sustain us forever so unless we’re going to change our ways which most, especially big corps that do the most damage for profit, won’t we need to focus on an exit strategy for the inevitable.

      2: The sun will also die eventually of course. Won’t be for a long time (hopefully) but that alone means earth isn’t a forever solution for us and if we live long enough, eventually we will have to leave.
