Should we infect them with dumb life?
Humanity will never survive on one planet.

I don't really think space exploration in general is a good use of our resources, though.this. All I can see that we'd get out of it is new rock types and dirt.We honestly have lots of issues "at home" that need to be fixed first. Besides. It should be a world wife effort to go beyond the stars. Some form of world peace or harmony should be a priority before that though. Anyway, I doubt were going to find any inhabitable planets... Without a warp drive that is. Consider this period of space exploration to be a phase of laying down the foundation for a building. The ground was dug in the Space Race, but we need to keep working on it. We need to be taking these rudimentary steps (landing rovers on other planets, sending probes out of our solar system, constructing the ISS) to further astronautical research and eventually reach the point of mining asteroids (which tend to be very mineral rich) and terraforming planets. Mayb I think it's dumb because none of us will be around to see it which is fucking depressing.

Quote from: SoporificSlash on September 11, 2014, 04:19:30 PMAsteroids have more resources than we will ever find on Earth. Not to mention the possibility of terraforming other planets in the solar system to help solve overpopulation.Well, from the anti-natalist perspective, that sounds like absolute shit.Terraforming other planets? That's... not a solution for overpopulation. You're exacerbating the issue.Infecting other planets with intelligent life would probably be the most irresponsible and stupid thing we could ever, ever do.

So you want humanity to go extinct?

I like my species to continue and conquer the galaxy, thank you very much.
Quote from: Korra on September 11, 2014, 04:35:27 PMI like my species to continue and conquer the galaxy, thank you very much.I'd argue we've already basically "conquered" it.
Just this planet....the Moon doesn't count.
