The resources are there in crazy abundance. But we will never get to them, the scale of the universe is unfathomable. Even at the speed of causality, human lifespans are simply not a match to the distances involved. And that implies we can somehow accelerate any real amounts of mass to those kinds of speeds which is already a non starter.
Our species was born on this rock and it will perish on this rock. And it will have no impact on anything even within our star system, let alone this galaxy.
The sentiment that the universe is our home is a nice one, but it’s not true at all. Existential crisis is the only reasonable thing here, at least from the lens of human existence.
