    Why bother with space? Just so we can colonise another planet and trash it all up like we did with Earth?

      We can, and likely will do better in space. Despite humanities failing most people still care about the human race enough that they want the long term survival of the species. The only way to ensure that is expansion into space colonies.

      That doesn’t mean we should give up on earth nor does it mean we should sacrifice climate health for the betterment of space travel.
