Steven,
I find it difficult to believe this place is nothing without us. Our stay will be short, relatively. A blip. Then poof. Things will begin to improve the minute we retire.
Enjoy your yoga. Please don't explode.

What does "better" mean when there is nobody around to appreciate "better"? What does "better" mean when there is nobody to discriminate "better" from "just plain old non-existence"? Hmmmm....I think I'll just go do some yoga now before my brain explodes.

Yes Gennaro, I think you are correct in that the planet would surely be better off without us. Much better.
But I doubt we are going to give up our home that easily, so we would be wise to concentrate on how to better live on this blue/green ball spinning through time and space rather than dream about some kind of escape capsule that we will likely never be able to engineer... or afford, for even a handful of the billions of us.

Ron I'm not sure how vital us humans are to earth.
Maybe somebody can remind me but from what I remember us humans have
been on the earth for about 1% of it's life. And who knows how long we
last.
In time the human infestation of earth may be remembered as a short
lived irritant in earths long life.
And just to mix things up a little, I think it is the epitome of
arrogance to think humans are the only space travelers in this vast
universe.
My bets are that we are a designated nature preserve very much like
certain cavemen tribes are in places like the Andaman islands or
Borneo. The aliens are keeping us isolated so we are not tainted by
the issues of modern society (their modern society).

Greenwashing taken to the limits of space.
Dream on.
We already have a home, and we have evolved as a vital part of it.

Everyone on this thread is more prescient than I imagined...given
today’s announcement that Martha Stewart is teaming with Sir Richard
Branson on a new Space Rocket/Housing Pod—sounds like an RV for space
travel.

I don't have an issue with dreaming optimistically about the future. I
do have a problem with spending incredible amounts of resources and
money exploring the universe when it could be put to much better
use--toward research on the environment solutions to save our planet,
for example.
