Over 100 billion people have lived on our planet.

Just 622 have been to space.

Just 12 have set foot on another celestial object, our barren moon.

Not a single human has been to another planet.

We know of no other planet that can sustain human life.

Why is it so damn hard to get people to care about protecting the only home we've ever had and the only place we can live?

We're primates. Our ancestors didn't live in dens, where genes for keeping things clean and healthy were reinforced and genes for living in garbage and sewage were killed off.
Our ancestors lived in trees, where they could just toss a piece of crap or a maggoty hunk of food overboard without penalty. We're still carrying those genes. Go anywhere human beings congregate and see. It's a major step forward in evolution that baby humans can be trained not to poop on the floor, with more difficulty than a dog or a cat or a rabbit. You can't toilet train a monkey.
