Yeah, but read the writers bio. Classic bio of a hack writer for hire.
Also, when you make statements like this:
It demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge of how many cosmic events can end life on earth and that they are primarily black swan events, we cannot predict them, the only logical option is to start as soon as possible.

So the writer picked one to focus on? He wasn't writing a compendium of disasters.

Yes, but the need for colonization remains the same regardless of the source of disaster.
The author named a few, not just one, do you believe he presented a compelling argument that humans should not expand en masse into the solar system to ensure survival?
