Starting Anew in a Foreign Planet

The universe is an incredibly huge place with trillions of galaxies within it. To help you picture how huge the universe is, our solar system is located in the Milky Way galaxy, and a single galaxy is enough to house tens to hundreds of millions of planetary systems. So, it was not really a question of whether there is another planet that can support life or not, but rather how we can reach it. Just trying to leave our own solar system alone will take us hundreds of years with our current technology, and assuming it will work that long. But in the off-chance that we find another habitable planet and have the means to relocate there, I will probably grab the opportunity to start a new life there instead of staying on Earth. ____ It's not that I do not care about Earth, so I choose to immediately abandon it as soon as a new planet suitable for life is discovered. Rather, I deeply care for it, just like how I care for my home, as it is on Earth that I have spent all the years of my life, along with all the memories, and met all the people in my life. It's just that Earth has become very populated, with its resources dwindling every day, and unless we do not find ways to preserve Earth's resources, it will be just a matter of time before it becomes uninhabitable. That is why, if moving people to another planet will help to at least reduce the consumption of resources a little bit, I am willing to relocate, even if that means leaving my home planet. Furthermore, I also talked in one of my previous [post](https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@saydie/i-once-dreamed-of-reaching-the-universe-unknown), about how I dreamed of becoming someone who could explore the universe, so while I am only traveling, from one planet to another, I can still think of it as an unforgettable experience.
