Hi Dave,
You miss my point. It is not the planet, but humans that will need this technology to survive. It only takes one stray rock and we will not even be a footnote in the history of the planet.
Let me jump into sci-fi land here for a moment. Perhaps the LHC's discovery of the higgs boson would let us create an artifical mass that enbales us to deflect a future earth-bound asteroid.
So, I still say that your position could well be damning human kind to destruction.
Cheers,
Paul.
