We don't know yet if they're just rocks. And if we can't take care of Earth, I fail to see how we could ever take care of another planet.



For the most activities we embark on, none of us is ready for. We just jump in and learn on the fly, the journey itself transforms and adapts us. So, maybe we haven't learned enough about taking care of a planet, but that's not a reason to hold ourselves back ...isn't it?


Perhaps not, I just don't see anything good coming out of it.


We'll learn something. That's always a good thing.


Think about 50 years from now, when we are expected to have a few more billion people living here on Earth. If you think things are stretched to their limit now, just wait.

It may be that the only way to save Earth is to give some of the 10+ billion another place to go.
