Because we can. In the 13.72 billion years the universe has existed, we're the only ones who can.
- ajmurmann 8y agoThe only ones who can what? Settle our moon? Settle other bodies?
- jonathankoren 8y agoThere's a lot things we can do. That's not a reason unto itself. This is just adventure travel, gussied up with delusions of species destiny from space operas. Why not settle the Gobi Desert? Develop technologies to suck carbon out of the air, and reverse global warming? Develop technologies to cope with climate disruption, or even just purchase land for the anticipated climate refugees. All of these are really Hard problems, and billion times more pressing, and much more obvious impact.
