How many reasons can we come up with as to why we must eventually leave planet Earth and settle other planets across the universe?
1. Living space
2. Survival of the race
3. To find out who else is out there.
4. To give separation to groups of people that can't live on the same planet in peace.
5. To aquire more rescources.
6. To find a safe place to run experements.
7. To spread the word of God.
8. To settle the question of UFOs.
9. Because man was bred to explore.
10. Manifest Destiny
11. Because it is there.
What else can you think of?

15. New resources, new opportunities, new sources for entrepreneurism.
16. A chance for many to get away from Mankind's greatest scourge... government. (Or at least a place for them to create the sort of government they want far away from anyone who doesn't want to live under their particular system.)

My Dear Travellers,
I think tht leaving the planet is our destiny. After all doesn't is say in the bible that the Meek shall inherit the Earth. I guess that means the rest of us are going to space.

18) To find out of all those alien females were the hotties that James Tiberius Kirk made them out to be.
19) To be the first to say, "Take me to your leader", and mean it.
20) To be the first to say "Greetings! I'm from Earth, and I'm here to help you!", and not mean it.
21) To sell deeds to the Middle-East to any alien family willing to pay the fare.

Their poetry violates the Geneva Conventions, the Khitomer Accords, and all forms of grammer, syntax, and reason.
Emperor Palpatine was a closet Vogon.
The HAL2000 computer was driven insane when one of it's programmers mistook a page of Vogon poetry for a firewall utility.
Doctor Zachary Smith was working for the Vogons when he sabotaged the Jupiter II - he was wont to utter "Oh, the pain!" whenever he had a flashback to Vogon indoctrination practices.
The voting machines used in Florida during the last presidential elections were designed by - you guessed it - Vogons!
Babylon Five, Firefly, and Star Trek (the original series) were canceled by Vogons.
"Friends" is written by Vogon wannabes.
Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh are what Vogons think role-playing games ought to be.
Area 51 is where Vogons run their Earth operations from.
Richard M. Nixon took his orders from a Vogon teddy bear named "Sweetums".
Guess who invented: Rap & Disco music, platform shoes, polyester suits, AM talk radio, Cherry Coke, Lemon Coke, New Coke, Vanilla Coke, the Yugo, GURPS, contract bridge, the state of Indiana, high colonics, the chihuahua in the next apartment, toxic mold, fire ants, MicroSludge Windoze, PMS, 'N Sync & The Backstreet Boys, weapons of mass destruction, the 8-Track format, Mad Magazine, unleaded gas, and Brittany Spears.

Because too many ethnic groups have a historical claim to certain areas on earth. They can have it.
Because too many religious denominations have an agenda to create their own theocratic states on earth. They can have it.
Because once I unleash all the nuclear weapons of mass destruction to obliterate the Holy Land off the face of the earth, I am no longer safe. graemlins/file_22.gif

Sounds like most of reasons have to do with getting away from people who don't believe what you do.
Very few who want to explore or to see what is out there.
No one who wanted to maintain an accepatble standard of living.
And a few who say it as the means of human survival.
The big problem we will have is that the people who can't live knowing others believe differently, think it is cheaper to just do a little genocide on the offending people who believe differently

Well, there's the "Get away from those who don't think like me" bit, but you left out the converse, also well covered: "Get away from the people who hate me for not thinking like them".
I know I fall into group-2... couldn't care less what other people do, but the idea of being "idologically clensed" by someone for having my own opinions sounds like a really bad way to spend an afternoon.

The Fermi Paradox,
or not to be here when the the Berserkers arrive.
Most versions of the Drake equation result in dozens of technological civilizations in this Galaxy that should be detectable. Some very old and large, so even if they are far away they will make a racket.
Where are they? Either they are keeping very quiet or the lifespan of technological civilizations is very short. Either option is ominous, and one answer is that something kills noisy young civilizations. Like ours.
