Citation needed - tons of resources are finite while consumption growth through population is exponential.

The other planets, moons, and the rest of the solar system has tons of resources too.

Exponential does not mean infinite?

Resources and population will both remain finite, fear not.

Even here on only Earth, there are more than enough resources for several times more human beings, and more resources are produced on a regular basis thanks to the sun.

The biomass resources that our growing population is shrinking?

That’s a classic tech will fix it narrative. The likelihood of us making it off the planet at a scale that matters to common people is basically zero.

It’s arguing on faith that we will move of the planet to defer living sustainably on the one we have which is a classic ruse to e able people to rationalize not changing lifestyles.

How much biomass and quality of life do they support? Moving metals onto the earth is "resources" but not the ones that sustain human populations.
