No. He very obviously means what he says.

The problem is that overpopulation is indeed harming a lot of things. And the only easy feasible solution is "send them to space," only we don't have any planets we could possibly colonize.

sending them into space is not actually feasible unless space travel becomes as ubiquitous as dinghies. Think about how fast you could off-planet people. Even a million at a time is peanuts.

edit: I went and looked at the numbers: to maintain a static population would require blasting 75 million people into space annually.

Easy and feasible meaning "It's easily understood and sounds good." Space travel doesn't work for a variety of reasons, first and foremost being expense.

'travel'? send!
