(So yeah, discovered TED)

Found out that nobody needs to go into space. There are still quite some discoveries to make on our measly little planet...

Nice. She points out some interesting things, and looking her up I see isn't a rabid green that is in need of moving to a cave and removal of all tech etc in order for them to survive alongside their precious nature.

Still not a valid enough reason to hold off on space exploration, we can explore/finish pillaging the earth (and maybe accidentally move the greens into caves and treehouses along the way where they can be close to nature and not have to use technology - 1 day before lack of an Apple product forces to give up their ideals or suicide?), and explore/pillage our solar system at the same time :)

I vote Dyson sphere. that way we can upscale production way beyond what we can do on earth. Use the other planets as resources, and build some huge spaceraft that we can use to spread out humanity so we can pillage other solar systems
