Well, think of it this way. Humans were originally intended to be just animals, weren't they? Eating other animals, walking about naked, banging things against rocks. But then evolution and intelligence set in. We discovered fire, weapons, how to hunt. Others animals don't use fire to their advantage. They don't use weapons. They do hunt however. Then evolution and intelligence set in once more and we figured out how to make shelter and cook food. Then we learned how to use our environment to our advantage. Then we started building things bigger than ourselves and then we ended up building cities and cars.
Don't you think that the human race is kind of like an animal race that spiraled out of control? I mean, were we always meant to know how to cook, build, colonize, read? Or were we just intended to survive as animals, but we've advanced.
So, I'm not sure. ARE we supposed to mine into space? It's apart of our environment right? Our minds would allow for it, the same way we've been allowed to mine and pillage other lands. I guess space and mining Jupiter for Agfhgfsjdhgjh Gas would just be another human thing when it's done.
