And go where? All the stars we can see with the naked eye are going to be dying around the same time as our sun. And we won't ever be able to travel to them, let alone beyond.
Things will improve here on Earth once we realize we're stuck in this solar system. Forever.
- shrimp_emoji 4y ago3/4 of stars are red dwarfs which can last for *trillions* of years. Our Sun is in the 1/4 that lasts for mere billions. I don't think this bleak defeatism is warranted at all. It feels like a projection of hopelessness about local affairs. Surface-wise, planets are actually non-ideal. Habitats are where it's at, baby. (E.g., O'Neill cylinders or, more fancifully, ringworlds.) But we probably can't ever build those cuz we suck! T_T Waaaah!!
