Sustainability is a nonsense if a comet impacts the earth.

You don't run a service on one machine; you use redundancy to reduce the chance of catastrophic failure.

If we can't live sustainably in the planet we were evolved in, what good is spending our efforts trying to colonize others?

If you have a service that leaks memory like crazy, you want to fix that before replicating it to a cluster of refurbished 486s.

You need sustainability first then worry about redundancy. One requires a complete revolution in human thought and behaviour. The other, expansion and technical problem solving, comes naturally.
