Not to mention that this planet will soon be overpopulated to the point where it can no longer support all the life on it. And that our sun will die eventually. So we need to try to find other worlds to colonise. And meet sexy space chicks, of course.

You want to compare us to when we used to **** in buckets well yeah we're doing alright
The majority of every generation has said that things are "fine" btw because they had nothing but the past to compare it to

Well, yes, I can understand what he's saying. Society has seen mostly improvements in living standards throughout the centuries, so no, I'd rather not live in Victorian London or 14th century Spain or in the Stone Age thanks.

Kind of embarrasing to have people living in abject poverty on more than one planet

Learn to comprehend instead of simply knee-jerk reacting in order to try and get a rise out of me.
Can someone please install an IGNORE function to this board?

Put down your crack pipe.

Put down yours. You clearly said the universe. Not even the galaxy. The universe. We haven't even a clue how big that is yet, so no way could you say there's nothing to find out there.

I don't think you can call that a typo. Be honest Chula: you got it wrong. You meant to say solar system but said universe.
