Our biology precludes that. We are adapted to life on earth. Sad to say but we should be seeding tardigrades, not humans, if we care about sustaining earth life after earth is destroyed.
I kind of have a soft spot for the human race, I think it's worth the extra effort to try, at least.
We use technology to do many things we are not biologically capable of. If we can use technology to remotely explore inhospitable environments, we can also use technology to wrap ourselves in a hospitable environment.
Why though? Patriotism? Stupid. Reminds me of Don’t Look Up how they needed a hero to die on the rocket.
speciesism.
