The Bible says that God is “the Maker of heaven and earth. As regards the heavens, to God the heavens belong, but the earth he has given to the sons of men”—Psalm 115:15, 16. Still, man was told by God to ‘multiply and fill the earth.’ (Genesis 1:28) At the same time, he was given intelligence and an insatiable desire to know more about his context, including the biosphere, the stratosphere, and beyond. That context includes our tiny solar system and the stars beyond. Thus, King David was inspired to write some three thousand years ago: “When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have prepared, what is mortal man that you keep him in mind, and the son of earthling man that you take care of him?”—Psalm 8:3, 4.
While we wonder in amazement at the marvelous creations of the heavens based upon our God given intelligence, curiosity and ambitions, space still is and will remain an inhospitable place to live for humans and our divinely assign residence is planet earth.
