There is no where on Earth left to go.
Which means the only place left to go is... off Earth.
Our species will never be free so long as we are confined to a single ecosystem or even a single solar system.
The most tragic loss of the 20th century wasn't the lives wasted in wars, it was our inheritance as a species wasted on war when we should have used those resources to colonize the solar system.
Why most humans are so damn short sighted is beyond me, but we are.
