But sustaining life in a fully contained environment- on a large scale- is much more difficult than anything else we have attempted. We can't even sustain ourselves here on Earth, where we have an environment hospitable to human life (for the moment anyway) how do you expect humans to sustain themselves elsewhere? Your desire to leave your problems behind you is so definingly human. But some problems need to be faced and overcome before one can move on. Our relationship with the earth is like a first marriage. And before their can be new relationships the problems in THAT one have to be worked out first- or we will just despoil our way through the galaxy- if we are even able to get off the planet. This is a shortsighted and wasteful way to think. Nothing you or Father T could say would ever convince me that it is a good idea to proceed to spoil Earth in the hope (however realistic) that we would be able to leave it.
