Staying home stops being viable in approximately 500m years, which is less than 25% of life on earth. A majority of the time life can survive on this planet is behind us.
We’ve had 4.2bn years to figure out how to get off this rock. We’ve only got 500m left. In that time, life has printed exactly one golden ticket: humans. Staying here is deadly. The mentality that life on earth will be just fine dooms this planet to complete extinction.
