Because there are often conflicting views about the importance of space settlement for the future of Earth, and because these views tend to be strongly advocated by one group or another, it is easy to think of these differences as an “either/or” argument. This would be a mistake. The variance of thinking about the purpose and the use of space all share the same passion for the premise: Humankind should go, must go, to space (a) to extend the human footprint in the solar system, (b) to seek new resources to enhance Earth’s limited capability to provide for a rapidly growing population, (c) to establish a military presence in support of political and economic objectives and to provide security for partners and stakeholders, (d) to redefine our collective destiny as a space-centric species, and (e) to alleviate global stresses and pressures (environmental, population, industrial, economic, political, etc.) on our planet in order to allow it to heal and return to its natural equilibrium. The arguments about differences lie in the methodology.
