“We need to view space and space travel not in consumerist terms and for the sole purpose of the expansion of our species to other corners of the solar system and beyond, but the expansion of our understanding of what it means to occupy our own frail planet right now. This continuation of exploitation shouldn’t be transferred to space or other planetary bodies. We should explore, find, and observe other worlds if we have reasonable means, but we should resist the desire to settle them. Maybe at least until we’ve learned to care for our own.”
