doesn't matter how nice that one basket is if it gets nailed by an extinction level asteroid, or if the Yellowstone super-volcano erupts, or if we lose our magnetic field (or any number of other plausible doomsday scenarios). we're the first species in the history of the planet with the ability to prevent our own extinction, to not try and do so is foolish
