Gee, Larry I must agree with you entirely on this one. What is happening here? LOL.

Completely disagree with your statement:
"We are completely out of sync with nature. Most other species maintain a balance with nature and local resources. Us not so much...we are trying so hard to figure out how to inhabit other worlds in space so we can overpopulate them to and at the end FK them up as well, if we're successful!"
Here is why I disagree:
We (human kind) are in sync with nature. Man is doing exactly what all other species have done since the beginning of time. When we overpopulate, destroy our land, and consequently blow our resources then our numbers will dwindle, just like with all other plants and animals. It's really that simple, whether we go to the moon, again, or to Mars or wherever.
We are a very smart species of animal with the brains to manage our resources, but the question is how do we do so with the rest of the world? There are attempts in that direction, at this time, but are we smart enough to work together throughout the world to accomplish that? If not, then we not so smart as we think we are.

The problem with being a smart species of animal is that too often those in power use their brains to enrich themselves while only contributing to the demise of the planet.
It appears that other countries are doing much better in attempting to solve the world's problems than the U.S.
Germany and China are far ahead of the U.S. in renewable energy. China has enacted family limit laws to cut down population explosion. The U.S. has more carbon emissions than any other country when compared by population.
