It's only threatening our species coz space research was quite purposefully stalled while old world global political tensions were simmering at their hottest.

Once there is an off-planet colony i expect the resource pressure that is starting to show will ease up considerably. Capturing asteroid/mining other planets for resources - there are a lot of ways for things to course correct. Everything we're facing right now is coz of an artifical bottleneck in our species expansion

It will also render existential threats moot coz there will be off planet resources to rebuild a civilization in case things do go catastrophically wrong.
