    Me, personally? Fuck no. I’m perfectly happy staying on this planet for the entirety of my life. Space travel is too risky, and I don’t really see how going to space would make my life any better. I will leave space exploration to people that are smarter and more adventurous than myself.

      This is interesting. It’s said that the human species is the smartest animal in its ability to adapt, explore, invent tools etc etc. but in reality it’s far from the norm. The avg human is not creative, couldn’t adapt to its surrounding, or build anything. No normal Humans can invent fire, the wheel, computers, spaceships etc. humans did not invent or discover things, super humans did all the work.

        I think you’re underestimating the intelligence of average people. There’s definitely a lack of knowledge, but average people are plenty smart to invent everything you’ve listed. It just takes time and is an iterative process.
