I think the most important thing our species has to tackle are equally important. #1 tackling climate change. #2 building a meteor defense system. But, after that, our species really needs to accept we cannot indefinitely expand. I hate that my species cannot see to a great enough degree, that we cannot keep expanding forever. Humans do not understand to a great enough degree, that birth far outpaces death. Humans do not want to accept that we are the ultimate invasive species.
I agree about tackling climate change and the meteor defense, but we do need to get off the planet in large numbers. The phrase "all our eggs in one basket" comes to mind.
(Though to be honest, I'm not sure where we should go, Mars or the Moon in underground caverns maybe (are there any caverns not under ground??) or maybe large orbiting systems like O'Neal cylinders maybe?)
What we really need is a more efficient way to get into orbit
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
