Everyone knows humans are destroying the Earth at a rapid pace, so why not go find another cozy planet until all of this blows over?

In addition, we discuss some requirements for life and a biosphere, terraforming our closest rocky neighbors, and whether we would ever undergo this multi-lightyear journey ourselves.
