   We should ask, critically and with appeal to the numbers, whether the   
   best site for a growing advancing industrial society is Earth, the   
   Moon, Mars, some other planet, or somewhere else entirely.   
   Surprisingly, the answer will be inescapable - the best site is   
   "somewhere else entirely."
