In that case you have to be *very* fast and convincing - we are already
close to 6 billion people, and will reach seven in a few years more.
Somehow, I doubt building the necessary space infrastructure (which in
the case of moving *billions* is extremely extensive) will be achieved in
such a short span of time even if everyone saw that it was a Good Thing.
