And mine will be the ecstasy of eternal love.

Give me the pleasure of an everlasting pain
An agony that lacerates my soul for ever.

 It takes too many resources to send each person into space. Earth is the most suitable planet in the solar system. But unless the human race spreads into space, I doubt it will survive the next thousand years. Some accident can wipe out life on a single planet.
  Stephen Hawking

  Ernest Bramah
