I thought this was going to be about fixing our trajectory on Earth, and species/ecosystems survival, and it starts, again, with AI and projections that are effectively far beyond the horizon of most of the current species on Earth, within the next 50 years.

Less talk about AI and space exploration please. More talk about humanity as an integral part of Earth ecosystem, and about the economics and politics required for that (hint, capitalism brought us so far, with the side-effect of destroying the very tree on which we sit).
