Colonizing would do nothing to relieve the pressure on this planet. The average daily birthrate on planet Earth is about 357,000 persons PER DAY

In shear numbers you are right, but the technology advancements would actually make a difference.

"In shear numbers you are right, but the technology advancements would actually make a difference."

Until those technological advancements actually occur (5 years...10 years...100 years?) that 357,000 / day becomes quite a force to be dealt with. That number is not a fiction and the sheer force of it will only lead to wars, starvation and misery.

While I am a HUGE Sci-Fi Fan, love Star Trek and really pray there will be voyages to other worlds, the truth of the matter is the people of this planet are going to either have to make some serious changes or some serious changes will happen in the not too distant future.
