It makes me wonder what our future will look like? Are we doomed to climate collapse on this planet? In which case, is space-faring our future? To further your point– if we can't even get our act together on this planet, what evidence is there that we could get our act together in space? I think the survivors of these early centuries of the third millennium will be forced into space. By this point infrastructure from mining and refining rare-earth minerals will be in place. It will be survivable, but it won't be comfortable. It may never be. Our debut as a space-faring species will mark a long dark age in our history. With no evidence that we can create microgravity, terraform, travel even close to half the speed of light, or put ourselves into some form of abeyance (cryosleep)– we will become divided, isolated, and oppressed to a degree we never have in our history. We will struggle for every resource we currently take for granted. I have no doubt that humanity in some form will continue to survive, but I don't think it will be comfortable or ideal.
