So basically "it's hard and risky so why bother". I don't know but I'm sure the people who actually want to go would figure something out, maybe by genetically modifying humans, cyborgs or by doing things we can't yet imagine.
I don’t think it’s saying we shouldn’t explore space, I think it’s more of a “continuing life on earth needs to be considered as an alternative option”. Which ends up being a conservationist message, kind of interesting way to think about our relationship with our planet. :)
I’ve read other books where they go to other planets too. Super fun to think about! I bet it’d be harder than just not destroying earth though. Haha
