The only 'space expansion' that he and serious people talk about is : mining a few asteroids (with robots, not 'belters'), space tourism, an Antarctica-like scientific lunar base and maybe some flag on Mars (all of that in the next 50-100 years).

ever thought of expanding downwards covering your house in trees and as a bonus building underground gives more protection if anything happens to earth
Space holds such hope for humanity. A fresh start, a chance for old grievances to whither and die. Colonizing the Sol System is our birthright as a species.
Talking about expansion and an industrialized astroid belt, and sci-fi - you should read/watch 'the expanse''. Really elaborates exactly on all of this.
Reminds me of the game Elite Dangerous where interstellar travel is commonplace and only wealthy high-class people with good reputation can even visit the Earth and the solar system. And I think its inevitable that one day, living on Earth is gonna be a privilege and some people are gonna work hard to maybe visit one day.
i dont remember from who, but i once saw a video of someone explaining how the earth is basically a closed system. berely anything gets in and barely anything gets away from it. yes we can get energy from the sun, but we cant just get metal from other planets. i think it will take at least a few thousand years before we will ever be able to effectively harvest recources from other planets, that is, if humans still exist then.
They are right, but a huge amount of dense material exists under our feet. What we don't have as easy access to is the sun's power. It also helps not being at the bottom of a gravity well. With certain technologies like active support, the restriction of gravity can be mitigated. It is much easier to mitigate that restriction, though, on less massive bodies.
Expansion is only good if we restore and preserve our planet. Not to mention, true expansion is so far ahead of us that we might push our luck here passed the point of no return.
Incredible how people will spend so much energy thinking about long term space developments that won't be viable for 200 years, but won't give equal attention to the much more pressing, much more important climate concerns. Cimate refugees, rising sea levels, desertification, loss of agriculturally prosperous land - preventing these things will have a much greater long-term impact to human civilization than space industry.
The future of humanity is in space (and of course on earth). I just think that space travel is so much less important than solving the issues on earth when it comes to what we should be doing right now. The only thing about space that I think is urgent (that I've heard so far) is anti asteroid tech.
The good thing about being "in the same boat" is that we can't just blow up others boat if we're also sitting in it. Expanding is good, but yeah. If it comes to a point where we're blowing eachothers planets... Then that's a bad idea.

Best stuff ive ever heard
The only thing expanding here is your depression when you figure out…AINT NOBODY GOIN NOWHERE, ANYHOW.
Rockets are the wood wagon wheel of technology. Give me a break.

Brown Cox confirmed for Manifest Destiny!
I wish i was born in a time i could experience this… I feel like i was born too early but man i love my wife and kids
