We have to expand past the solar system to truly survive ultra long term. We must settle around a younger star

Look at what we've done to this planet. Look at the amount of species of plants and animals we've driven to extinction. We don't deserve to drag ourselves out into the wider universe until we get our shit together.

I firmly believe that based on the behavior exhibited during the colonial age that any sort of planet we find, and anything unfortunate enough to live there will be mercilessly exploited until things are as bad there as they are here.

That's not to say it's impossible for us to grow, to become better, and if we do then maybe we can begin spreading out and colonizing. Until then? We need to stay the fuck here.
