The thing is, the technology and resources required to colonize other planets is probably a lot greater than what would be required to fix our own problems here and ensure our survival.
Besides, if we go into space, there WILL be Romulans!
PS. Nowhere in the bible does it say people go to heaven when they die, that is an alien myth to Christianity that has become one of its core features, like Christmas, Sunday worship, Easter, and other things. The reason why people think that we should explore space probably stems from this myth that is coded into our culture. I'm agnostic though, I don't buy it.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
