Mr House is the reality of anarchocapitalism. The corporate owners become a government, and the freedom they allow extends only when it is convenient for them, and their quest to sit on a larger and larger pile of money.
As you go deeper and deeper, you find out that perhaps that goal has other purposes, but those purposes turn out to be as insane as the people they claim to be against most of the time.
House’s endgoal was actually to build a rocket and leave Earth, btw. Fallout fans might recognize this goal as being the same as Vault Tec’s, aka the Enclave’s, aka the prewar American government and oligarchy.
Which House was a part of, as the owner of RobCo.
Don’t pay attention to how he shortened Robot, btw. That was just a convenient way to name it, and has no deeper meaning.
Is it better to starve for scraps in a dead world of dwindling resources or to strive to find a new one?
Realistically irl, it’s way easier to teraform a mostly fine planet with a working magneto sphere and liquid water as opposed to going to another planet where you’d have to do all that yourself, but sci-fi likes to pretend there are thousands of lush green worlds out in the endless black waiting to be colonized.
The larger issue would be the lack of easily available fuel to rebuild earth with, an issue only made infinitely harder by being light-years away from home and starting on a new dead rock instead of a mostly dead one.
The issue is that they didn’t have FTL and House was literally delusional lol (like Howard Hughes)
That or he was planning on hitching a ride with the Zetans, but that’s a deep deep lore dive that includes a lot of the phrase “according to datamined files” or “in this deleted content”
The actual Vault Tec program was designed to learn how to make a slow-drive generation ship and survive the trip, but there’s no indications he was gathering Vault data or actually making something on that scale.
On the other hand, it’s entirely possible he didn’t look for the data because it was sent directly to him.
