We need more space freighters. The more we can put up in space the more likely it will be that we can make trips to the astroid belt to mine needed supplies. From there we can push our boundaries out into space and start to spread across the known areas of space. Leaving this planet to colonize others can help the human race be more productive and more likely to survive.
