Humanity and Space Travel

SpaceX is setting its sights on Mars, Nasa wants to set up a moon base. We're finally reaching out again for the first time since the space race ended. So what do you all think? Do we need to focus more on Earth, or are we destined to spread across the solar system?

We've got to start somewhere. The earth won't matter in a few billion years, while what was born on it, might if humanity can succeed within the stars.

I have, a cool idea just really really expensive, and not very sturdy relative to other kinds of bases. Venus is one of my favorite planets though so going there would be amazing.

If I could just be cryogenically frozen and thawed out in a time where I could potentially be a starship captain...that'd be great. ^^;

We could develop the Earth by going to the stars. I think that as we progress on our journey to space, we come together in good terms and work as a team (International Space Station for example). I would love to live long enough to travel to Mars
