alt Hacker News> Humans are probably the only Earthlings that have any chance of achieving interplanetary civilization and persisting long term.
Stop watching sci fi my dude, there is 0% chance we leave the solar system and probably even earth.
It's not a video game, there is no speed run, there is nothing out there for us, what's the hurry with burning and destroying our home planet ? Do you think we'll have it better on Mars lmao?
I'm not sure why you're responding as if my comment is some sort of hopium. I'm saying that if we don't stop ourselves from making Earth uninhabitable to us in the very near future, that this is the peak of technological civilization on Earth for all time. Whether human descendants or another sapient species comes out of the climate turmoil and tries to advance again, they're gonna hit a wall.
All our ambitions and dreams for the future hinge on reversing the damage we've done.
