How about pie in the sky colonisation?
I understand that many nut cases think we are all going to live like Star Trek.
Reality is that space is more hostile to life than anywhere on earth; we are adapted to live here and here is where we are going to stay.
So you have the same strategy as The Dinosaurs.
How did that work out for them?
Look out the window at the sky - they evolved into birds.
A poster, elsewhere, sez: I am pretty sure the highest principle is "no harm". Morality.
What say you?
This is not exactly correct judged by the current de facto ethos, or the region in which we all are. The way I understand it "no harm" is a modification of happiness seeking the human being or making its ethical claim on us all. If this happiness causes others harm, it is rejected. But, it, happiness, comes first as the ethos requirement of the liberal citizen or Social Contract countries. This is modified by the remaining demands of the country as embodied by the government or state to hold its own amidst the other countries, economically and militarily and in their link under the Eisenhower complex.
