We, as humanity, simply have to explore beyond Earth to survive in the long term (meaning really long term, like next 1000 years). Moon, Mars, and beyond. It's evident that Earth is not big enough for all of us, today. What about the next 1000 years? Our population growth rate over the millennia looks very much like covids spread ;) so I guess there's nowhere else to go than space.
- hutzlibu 7y agoIn the really long term, like the next 5 billion years, definitely yes. But for mere survival we do not have to leave earth. At some point population growth would simply stagnate. When there is less food than humans. (which is a factor for quite some humans now) Now the side effects of this scenario on a big scale might wipe out humanity (if food wars get nuclear), but they don't have to. In either case, I am 100% pro space colonization, but I don't think we need to dramatize it.
