““There is no escape. Eight billion humans won’t escape their issues by going to space. Our planet needs no terraforming, no cosmic radiation shielding, and no industrial production of oxygen or water. It needs no soil building and requires no multi-month travel time or lengthy communication delays. It demands no complex infrastructure. We are on board the best, most resilient, and most spacious “spaceship” we could ever build. This is it. Hopefully the space-colony dreamers will slowly realize that what they’ve been looking for is here.””
