It's a mission that is expected to take us from the impending man-made catastrophies (such as accelerated climate change) and cause them somewhere else.

It's unfathomable to think they have half a chance when they're squandering their time here not trying to give Earth a few more years. I'd advise them to clean up their mess before trying to settle on another planet and causing the same mess as has already been done. And the fucked up thing is is that our acceleration has only been documented from the past few centuries.
