I was just saying that there are three options when a certain population reaches too large a number:
- either it migrates (in this case that would be colonizaiton of other planets);
- a predator shows up and kills off the populations/parts of it (I guess viruses are really looking forward to this);
- the specie uses up all the needed supplies and dies of starvation;
the real question though I think is - is the human race worth saving/keeping alive?

There exists also a fourth option, but that one requires that all people realise their responsibility, which won't happen until we 'all' start to do something in this direction and not single strong personalities in the ocean of uncaring people. The fourth option is reducing the birth-rate everywhere on Earth through voluntary control over that, with the preceding improvement of the social structure, and following reconstruction of the available natural resources on earth, such as forests and large fields for agro-culture, for being better to use them and improving the supplying of food for all people. Sounds probably awfully complex and impossible, but it's not impossible. It requires just a small, but hard agreement of all people - that all begin to care and start to work on better life on Earth.
About the question if the human race is worth keeping alive or saving - yes it is! The human race created already many beautiful things such as the art in the renaissance which as such are not available in the nature. The human race was created not to be destroyed again but for a definite goal. Which goal that is we can find out, but only all together. When we all realise that wars are a complete waste of time and resources, when we realise that the entire humanity needs to have enough to eat and not only one "privileged" half of them that gets fat and sick through too much food while the other half starves, when we all begin to work together for a better future for everyone on Earth, then, and only then the way will be open for us to discover the countless mysteries of the space and to colonize other planets if a need arises.
