Subject: Re: To infinity and beyond
When I listen to the pessimistic futurists today who speak of dwindling earth resources and the need to colonize other planets in order to preserve a future for the human species, I wonder why all of the future technologies that they claim will be needed to terraform other planets for human habitation….. might not first be dedicated to addressing the issues of our own earth habitat?

Yes. Why these nonsense dreams of going somewhere else. It is not going to happen in any scalable way, if at all. Let's work on keeping this planet habitable!
