Reply to comment by [deleted] in ELI5 Why are we more interested in colonizing extremely distant, completely inhospitable planets and moons than we are in making more parts of our own planet livable? by [deleted]
There really isn't any. The amount of work involved to terraform, and time, would vastly overshadow what it would take to repair the Earth.
Plus it's mostly theoretical and untested, whereas in the case of Earth its mostly a matter of stopping pollution.
No, it's pretty much wish fulfillment at the moment.
