The strongest go on to repopulate. We are Earthlings, designed and adapted to live here and only here. The Moon or Mars will never work.

While I agree with the population control methods you stated, I have to disagree with the possibility of living places other than Earth. The space station has shown humans can survive away from Earth. Getting the supplies to another location and setting up living quarters large enough to support a decent size population would be astronomically expensive (pun intended).

Not to mention that the Human body is perfectly adapted to the gravity and atmosphere of Earth. There have been studies about rats and other animals mating in space with not such great results for the offspring!!!

The human body is made to adapt. Give it some time, and man can adapt to low gravity as well. Just make sure everyone drinks their milk.

It's evolution....or something like that....it's all speculative until someone actually gets sent. Hypotheses that are not tested are little more than opinions, and we know that goes something like this
