The interesting thing here for me is the idea that the ultimate hope of humankind is that we must eventually find a way to colonize other planets. If we don't, as resources run dry at a quickening rate, then we'll eventually turn Earth into Dune--well, maybe not with the giant Sandworms, but it will get bad. Then all that technology will be used to fight over dwindling resources.

If we don't end up successfully colonizing a different place, I wouldn't mind. Humans have created quite the amount of destruction. Let nature take the tide and do what it wants |
As there have been hundreds, likely even thousands, of science fictions stories and novels on that very subject, then probably not.
