Infinite growth is not sustainable and will lead to ruin fast.

infinite growth is not sustainable in a finite space, but if you develop spaceflight, you have literally infinite space available, so the argument falls flat.

i just wanted to add that addition. it's actually why spaceflight is pushed forward in america, because it enables growth without destroying the planet at the same time.

While the universe may be close to infinite, the number of habitable (or reasonably terraformable) planets we can get to is a far smaller number.

A number statistically similar to zero. (assuming travel times counted in less than a human livespan)
