I've been thinking for decades, we should have a permanent lunar colony by now, more than one even, and also we should have planted human footprints on Mars by now. As long as the only humans and other species are on this one planet, we're in peril. We have the technology to start spreading out in our own solar system now and we should already be doing that. It's an insurance policy for our species.
