Whether or not you are saying this meaning leaving Earth and living in space/ another planet, or just escaping the perils of Earth's limited resources, I think that, even though living in space would be
one giant leap for mankind, it would be a bad idea. By the time we have the technology to live in space, we'd also have all the futuristic space technology you only see in movies. This would probably make for a decline in human evolution. I imagine the process of moving to space and living there to be quite similar to the computer-animated film Wall-E.
