No, we're not. And whatever we end up doing to the Earth, it's still going to be vastly more suitable for human life than anywhere else in the solar system.
If you care about preventing extinction, stop looking at the stars, and start digging bunkers. Or building undersea cities, or whatever.
- ben_w 4y agoAll true, but I say a backup plan is better than no backup plan, especially as this is one (admittedly rich) sci-fi nerd's hobby project. As even that specific nerd is also doing a big project to reduce environmental damage, this isn't an "either/or", it's an "and".
