Why is the lifespan of one human relevant to interstellar colonization? Humans have been engaging in mega-projects that span more than one generation since humans existed. The entire concept of a city is a multigenerational megaproject that often takes more than a hundred years to see to fruition from planning through material gathering to stable metropolis.
Manhattan is filled with 2.3 million tons of cars alone, it's got 4 million tons of sidewalks, 120 million tons of buildings.

Doomers really are completely and utterly ignorant about concepts like scale and long term planning, which makes sense, because doomers are, by and large, highly unintelligent.
