You know where else is habitable? Earth. Maybe we should worry about the one planet we do have

We do worry about the one planet we do have. Well, at least the scientists do. That doesn't stop us from exploring. Ofc people with small brains can't comprehend the idea that science isn't mutually exclusive and that we can do multiple things at once. Progress isn't linear and does not require we all focus on one thing.

Currently we cannot send humans that far, but who knows in 1000, or 10000 years from now?

It's about the long term survival of humanity.

Honestly it isn't even about our long term survival.

Humans want to explore and expand and grow. They think there's a place they can go to set up shop they're gonna go whether it's a good idea or not.

The real problem here is that so many of the uninformed don't realize that there are hundreds or thousands of scientists that specialize in each individual section of science.

There are maybe 10 popular climate scientists that make headlines, but maybe 1 that might make headlines for some hopeful half-invented article.

But there are definitely hundreds of scientists that spend their entire career (30y270d8h= 65000 hours) each focusing entirely on each of these sciences.
