I have also seen 'practice for when humans have to flea the earth because the resources that make the planet livable are gone'. Aka some superman/Thundercats/Transformers shit.
At our current pace, we’ll become a Type 1 civilization within a couple hundred years. At that point we need to be space faring enough to be able to harness, store, and control the energy at the scale of our solar system. To get to that point, space travel/exploration has to get normalized and more routine. If we don’t, then longterm we risk our extinction.
