There is a myth that Spaceship Earth will soon become overpopulated by humans. We will run out of land and resources to support the excessively taxing amount of people. We will create too much co2 and poison the planet.
These are drastic over exaggerations.
The entire human populace could live in a small section of Texas if we lived as densely as NYC.
We are getting better at solar collection and battery storage all of the time. Elon says all of China could be powered in this way today.
Even more exciting than solar+battery is the idea brought to us over 100 years ago by Nikola Tesla himself. He realized that the Earth is one giant electromagnet. He conceptualized gargantuan copper towers that could harness the electricity generated by the Earth's rotation that is available to us freely in the Ionosphere.
Free unlimited energy will enable us to desalinate the ocean to no end. It will allow us to Pipe the Planet affordably. It will end famine and drought across the entire Earth.
This robust number of humans that will populate the planet will be nourished by the seemingly unbalanced increase in resources.
Traveling beyond planet Earth and supporting limitless numbers of people will quickly become feasible.
