And I've always been a big supporter of space travel and exploration. Maybe we need Theme parks to develop and build solutions, since they're already building elaborate environs under water.

Its above me honestly. Max Tegmark is a theoretical physicist. If you were to visit his site, you'll see he has theories on Multiverse, String Theory, Hologram Theory, etc.. As far as MIT physicists go, he's known as a deep thinker, but does not do commercially viable physicist work.
Also, if you visit the FLI site, its mainly focused on plausible , real world suggestions on life on this earth. The nuclear threat, environmental threats, astronomical threats, and social threats , like populations and diseases.
I'm an observer of these things because they interest me. I'm not qualified to have any meaningful discussion about it. 8 Years ago MIT put there classes online and I took a few, did ok, I joined ATMOB (amataur telescope makers club of boston) and built my own telescope, met interesting people. That's all I got.
