NASA has an “Artemis mission” planned. The goal is to establish a permanent moon base. But I don’t see what we can do there that we can’t do with robots. We’d have to provide space for people to live, and food, and water, and all that stuff. Not even mentioning 1/6 gravity isn’t exactly healthy.
I’d rather we just send robots to the moon and do what we need to do there until we can easily build huge habitats for people.
You’re technically correct, but I think there’s a philosophical question that gets left out of the discussion:
Is humanity worth saving?
Having met a fair number of humans, the answer is not an obvious and enthusiastic “yes”.
Humanity has a lot of flaws, however, in my opinion, it’s still a lot better than nothing. We can work on improving what we have.
Humans as they are now might not, but what about future generations? What about evolutionary descendants?
