So the bar analogy works, and I hate to agree with an idiot, but when the tab comes due, some people just go to a different bar.

Let’s get off planet.

Not sure that’s true. Terraforming another world is mostly a science problem, fixing Earth is more of a sociopath problem.

Ahh but only 5x easier than living in low orbit and watching the poors die horribly!

Let’s fix the planet. It’s possible, especially if we greatly expand hemp production. Once that’s done, we ship the tiny minority of greedy assholes to Ceres. They can figure out asteroid mining, we can even give them MOABs to help out, but no nukes.

I’d love to do this, but we literally don’t have the energy budget for that. At least, not for everyone. Rockets require crazy stupid amounts of energy for relatively small amounts of mass, just to leave Earth’s gravity well. Nevermind that space is an incredibly hostile environment requiring technology we don’t even have yet, or that our next best bets for settlement (Mars and Titan) aren’t much better. We’d be far better off terraforming the Sahara.

Absolutely agree. I just think the earth environment thing is already a wash, so we could try our damnedest to get off the rock.
