I'm all about space colonization and terraforming, as you know. I just don't like the version where we're in such a bad state on Earth that the main purpose is to flee (probably leaving the vast majority behind). That's what I call an emergency backup plan, not a source of inspiration.
My preferred option is described (metaphorically) in the second-to-last paragraph of my linked "fable." If I'd felt the need to go into depth, I would have added that when the first other islands they came to proved barren and lifeless, they started planting seeds.
