Do you really wanna make a species close to self annihilation multiplanetary though? It's probably pretty easy to nudge a few asteroids the wrong way given the right drive technology...so not sure space colonies would change the likelihood of doom.
I mean it wouldn't eliminate the likelihood it would just decrease it. And do I want an endangered species to become multiplanetary? Yeah kinda. We saw one of the best expansions and developments of culture and morals when there were still places to explore. Places for new cultures to form. If we can have that again given the current cultural climate, who knows what could happen.
You should ask the indigenous people of the places we explored about our culture and morals. Are you sure you're not confusing Star Trek with reality?
