Extra-planetary colonization is so far-fetched given our impending climate crisis. We will struggle to adapt to the oncoming environmental changes in a planet that we have completely adapted do. The thought that leaving this custom bubble f

I admire your good-faith assumption there. Mike Rowe has no equal when it comes to mischaracterizations and straw-man arguments.
