I think the human race in general is genetically programmed to explore. That's how the New World (the Americas) were discovered by Europeans back in the 1400s and 1500s and then eventually settled. Europeans weren't content to stay on their own continent.

Of course, individual humans might be perfectly happy where they are. I have a sister-in-law who almost never leaves her hometown and would be content to sit in her house 24/7.

oh im not suggesting we give up exploring- I only meant to point out we have a perfectly suitable planet to live on and it will take massive problem solving to live on another planet- and be too burdensome and expensive- but yeah, visiting is fine- but again, we have the perfect planet to live on now- Maybe someday outer-space living will be a financially and physically viable alternative, but again, are we trying to build another tower of babble?
