>>no reason we have to exterminate it
There's no reason we have to destroy the rainforest, except that some people want to turn it into furniture and farmland.

Terraforming would pretty much do this.

We might even accidentally exterminate it. We could introduce some bacteria from Earth that outcompetes the native species.

If there's life on Mars, we best leave it to the Martians.

Living in a gravity well is also highly over-rated.
Especially when one might be able to telepresence down to one in the future.

Right, right, not fearmongering at all.

Fortunately I've had my training with Red Cross, including protection from fallout and procedures for rescue and support operations near and in a nuclear power plant during a core meltdown accident.

Part of each of those courses, drills and seminars were the facts about radiation, radioactive contamination, safety measures and details about past accidents.

I've been to chernobyl and got a mildly radioactive, lead-sealed medal with actual on-site material inside as a memento on my third visit. I've also talked with a couple of the survivors.

And, while you got some parts right, you got others just horribly, horribly wrong.
