I think people nowadays think their Mom is going to pick up around them. Up in northwest where we had drought and fires people would throw cigarettes out the window. I honked at one with California tags and he gave me the finger.
The nearest Earth like planet, which could possibly support human life is Proxima Centauri. It is 13 light years away. That is roughly 78 trillion miles. The fastest man has ever traveled is 24791 miles an hour. At that rate, it would take 85,789,041 years to reach Proxima Centauri. Now assuming that we either develop one of the science fiction ( light speed, worm holes, etc) options, or just send a ship on which life could be sustained for 86 million years, there is still the question of whether Human life could actually survive on that planet. And, if life can survive there, how likely is it that they would decide “there goes the neighborhood” and simply shoot us out of their sky? Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to try to put all the effort that would be required to get to another planet into trying to maintain the one we have?

Apparently, humans are an interplanetary disease.

We’ve been polluting the Moon since 1969. Google what the astronauts left behind.

Less scientific study on the environment says the Trump administration. Drill those wells, full steam ahead.

Apart from plastic pollution we’re not doing so bad anymore. Now if there was a way to clean up the rivers of Asia…….

THAT is supposed to be an Earth-like planet?! Seriously?

You can be sure that we’ll always leave a trail wherever we go in the cosmos, not to mention the debris circling the Earth now!!

Even a deer walking in a forest changes things. A leaf falls. The Earth is in constant change.
