I realize that it can seem superficially that I am making an emotive or moral argument but that isn't it at all. Ethics aside, we have to acknowledge that the way we interoperate with our environment is fundamental to our survival of the species, which is in turn what makes it therefore ethical and moral. We aren't going to find ourselves out there, any more or less than Europeans did when they crossed the ocean to find what was to them the New World. If we don't fix how we interoperate as a species with our lived environment, we will die. There is no magic solution in space. We either fix ourselves - we change how we interoperate with the environment - or we die. Going into space solves nothing.
