Humans are destructive at the moment, I reckon we should just grow up some bio domes for spacecraft and leave momma Earth for phase two.
It'd explain why we sometimes think that ancient civilisations of great sophistication existed, but we don't find any of their artefacts - eg Atlanteans - a human culture discovers technology, cures diseases & empowers its citizens: And they realise that if they stay on the planet they consume it all, if only by sheer weight of numbers... So you do the decent thing, clean up all traces of your passing & fly the nest.
Momma Earth raised us well, time to strike out into the big bad cosmos & stop scabbing a living out of the old dear.
( Most cultures get away by going to cosmic university, but I don't think we're going to make the entrance criteria .. but we can still try to build an interstellar station wagon big enough to fit all our t-shirts & posters in, & find a cosmic bedsit.. it's not much, but at least it'll be ours - we can all take our drugs & rev our engines all night without getting up mom's nose. ) |
