    We should be exploring both options, exploration can often lead to unexpected discoveries and technological advancement.

    Space colonies. That way they can be dropped to earth to start colony independence wars.

      Why is this getting upvoted so much, its just NIMBY, but for the universe. We should decrease environmental damage rather than exporting it or sweeping it under the rug.

    How to survive in space: Develop ways to survive in space only first. Once you manage that all the other problems are trivial compared and you don’t have a single point of failure (aka our planet) anymore. Isn’t that obvious?

    Why not both?

    I’m guessing B will happen first, just because we have so much more control of the environment, but we’re still so far away from either one… Maybe I’ll get to see the early stages sometime in my life.

      The Lunar Gateway will be complete in your lifetime and and the Artemis program is underway. Who knows what will happen after that.

      We aren’t going to stop being prejudiced against each other until we meet other species to turn our prejudices outward.

    All of the above. But start with cleaning up this planet. Build better / more sustainable and more diverse communities and energy production. Build arcologies in the arctic, deserts, oceans. Those are good “practice” for building the same off planet.

    What’s the purpose—research? Tax evasion? Shits and giggles?
