# me too!
but I do think we need to get sorted down here as well...we spend billions on getting a space station up there, while down here millions of people are dying...lets face it though, if all 6 and a half billion of us got cars and nice houses, there wouldnt be enough room by half...either we expand, or we die, and the planet comes with us...

# I make it five acres each.
Quite a lot of those acres would not be very nice, mind you, due to being in antarctica. But having said that, I currently inhabit about a hundredth of an acre, and I'm sharing that with a couple of other people. Only a bit more than 1% of the planet's land surface is "urban" (according the UN, I think). So this sort of stuff is hard to figure out.

# by "planets surface"

# No, I thoughtfully factored those out.

# i thought you said "according to the UN"
so i assumed it was their calculations which they may have biased by including the oceans and seas in their "planet surface"
