Aspen ProposalJan 3, 2023

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.

This is the voice of reality for those with visions of colonizing the Moon, Mars, or other worlds. We can explore those places, but we evolved on Earth and are ultimately bound to it. We need to cherish it and all the other organisms that share it with us.
