New Getting off the rock won't help those of us still here.
Even with a space elevator or twenty, you just can't boost enough people into orbit to make a dent in population growth. Like it or not, we do need to solve our own issues here in addition to any space-based activities.

But I'm considering species survival... Plus, if we can learn to live in truly hostile environments, maybe we can learn to live with an annoyed Mother Earth.
Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
