We move on to harder problems.

I don't think the end-game for humanity is one that sees every extant human sitting idle in a small residence with enough food/entertainment to subsist.

There is a life beyond Earth for humanity and it probably coincides with our development of strong AI/robotic life.

Humans in space in my eyes make as much sense as motorized fishbowls on highways. We're even less competitive compared to robots in non-terraformed environments.

Human biology _VASTLY_ outperforms our robots in the key areas of wound-healing and energy efficiency which are incredibly important considerations in hostile environments.

Humans and robots working together will be far more capable in non-terraformed environments than either one alone.
