No, we should focus on saving the Earth instead of leaving it

Space exploration, is just that. Looking for answers about where and how and when the universe “happened” is wasted time, money, resources, and effort. Knowing how we happened does nothing to help us where we are right now.

Why should we sit back and wait for some devastating event that could cause the end of the world. We could terraform a planet and create another living space planet to house people in case of over population or a ending world event. We won't know the far vast world outside of earth if we do not fund our space exploration.

There's no guarantee that there's another earth-like planet close enough for us to even reach, and it would also be a waste of a one in a million planet to destroy this one.

Earth is being damaged by the contamination and natural disasters, that are being provoked by our own actions.

space is nice, we have gps and sattalite television, but ultimately everyone lives on earth and earth is far more important.

there is many people on earth, it isn't fair to abandon them, and leave the suffering heat and drowning they would meet, there would also be no recovery if something went wrong in the situation that something goes wrong. where the few people who would leave go, and how would the vastly different planet affect their health.
