Yes, I think it's inevitable. But that would eventually make for a very crowded Earth. So perhaps that's what we need to jumpstart the space program.

Well.. It doesn't necessarily lead to that. You can just not have children.
And it doesn't have to be not to have children at all. Ie. 1 child for everyone happens to be 0.5 children per person.

Just saying that the "space program" probably isn't the best solution.. for now.
