Humanity must expand outwards if we are to survive.
We have to start leaving this planet and start colonizing other habitable worlds or we will destroy ourselves whether it be from poverty, war, or environmental disaster. It will happen. Unless we can pool our resources together, invent/create new materials, and mass produce them to build bigger stronger safer spacecraft, and move out into the stars.
We have found over 800 Habitable planets in Our galaxy. Why not colonize one or two.
Train hundreds of potential spacecraft pilots and help work towards a better tomorrow. Not just for the American People, but for the entire Human Race.
If we work towards Colonization, then we could potentially Save the human race from certain extinction.
