Has it ever occurred to anyone that humans were never meant to get this far?

We were supposed to remain hunter gatherers. Instead, we figured out how to farm, write, build massive civilizations, harness the lightning of the Gods, build weapons of mass destruction, and conjure thinking machines. We were never even meant to leave our own planet. Yet we did!

These insane, hairless, dirt gremlins are now trying to construct decentralized economies and governments that can traverse the vastness of space. They are a rapidly spreading virus, reaching their diseased tendrils towards the stars.

There are no alien space invaders out there; WE are the space invaders.

And soon, nothing will be safe...

The phrases "meant to" and "supposed to" imply some kind of design or grand plan for humans that we have over-extended.

But that's not really what happened. Evolution gave us creativity, and with it, unbelievable reach. We can do all those things you mentioned (and much more to come; things you can't even imagine yet—such is the nature of creativity).

It's exciting, really!
