 That argument strikes me as advocating killing for population control, decrease the surplus popluation? I'm not saying that's what you mean btw. Heck Chinas' brazen attempt at just that isn't working. There is only 1 man made solution  Pete

From what I can see the only long term solution to overpopulation is migration. Consider that in 2004 the UN projected world population to be 9.2 billion by 2075.
A few years back the wheelchaired one mentioned he believed if we could hold off the inevitable crash due to resource scarcity for about 150-200 years we'd be good to go. The conservative luddite thinks we need to step up space exploration  Pete

Nah, waaaaay to unrealistic
 Even if by some miracle the replacements' planets' orbit was roughly in the narrow sweet spot, and wasn't pulverized by debris from the destroyed earth, it would wobble badly for a long, long time  Pete

I'd be OK as long as they built the 'real' Enterprise:
 He was being serious though. With some thought anyone can see where overpopulation is heading. Basically it's identical to overtaxing a spaceships' systems. I remember fairly recently some of the original astronauts were calling for it too, on the grounds that as overpopulation gets worse we will not have the additional resources to develop the program and will be doomed to a miserable second rate life on this fragile rock hurtling though a very dangerous space. I swear, if folks understood just how little it would take to kill all life on this planet, even destroy the solar system they'd... be as oblivious as they were to WW3 during the cold war Pete
