In other words, Earth has all the perfect conditions for supporting human life- and when it has its problems, people chose to ignore them and set out to venture out other areas (maybe even dirtying that area as well). In addition to this, NASA has invested $11 billion on space exploration, and not much at all with their own planet and an abnormal amount of that money has gone down the drain.
