              Ok, where is the problem with that? “Destorying” the planet really only is a problem for us because we only have the one. With FTL travel, we’d have billions. We could literally just blow some up for fun.

              I’m not sure that would be true for a civilisation with FTL technology.

              Also, even if just 0.01% of planets are habtiable as is, that’s millions of them that we have availible. So it might make much more sense to just move to a new planet as we fuck them up.

                Habitability is about more than just gravity, atmosphere, etc.

                Earth has a biosphere compatible with human life. If all technology disappeared overnight, humanity would survive.

                There’s also the issue of moving billions of people.

                  So are all minor problems compared to FTL technology. So you need to bring some plants, big deal. Also you don’t NEED to move billions of people. Just make new ones when you get there.

                  If all technology disappeared overnight, humanity would survive.

                  I agree. Lot’s of people would die, but humanity would indeed survive. We are pretty resilient and adaptable.

                    Aren’t we talking about a scenario where anyone left behind will die? That’s billions of people every time we hop planets. Am I missing something?

                    I think you severely underestimate the difficulty in establishing a biosphere. Could we grow crops? Yeah, sure, I guess. Hydroponics, if nothing else. It’d be a nearly completely barren world with just a few crop fields. How inspiring.

            which would only benefit the top maybe 100 people that can afford it, draining unimaginable amounts of energy and setting everyone else in even shittier situation. yay what a great idea

            and even the bozos that escaped would be only fine until they have to work for their own survival

              I think launching the 100 richest billionairs into space permanently would greatly benefit humantiy. But it’s probably cheaper to put them in a shitty submarine instead.
