The idea that humans might move off this planet in large numbers is a staple of science fiction.

(We love science fiction!)

But in reality, there is no Planet B.

Millions of years of evolution have shaped us to fit this planet almost perfectly.

We are, in fact, expressions of the earth.

If we can’t fit in and flourish here, we aren’t going to do it anywhere else.

Shifting the Paradigm | Aspen Proposal

The Aspen Proposal provides a description of a sustainable human civilization 200 - 500 years in the future. This is a goal that will focus our efforts, allow us to backcast and provide hope for those working for change.

@AspenProposal we'll still try because adapting to new environments is what we do as a species, but I really like your point. We evolved on earth; this is our home. Planet B, if ever we find it, should be at best a vacation spot or post for exploration, not a replacement for home.
