So here's the actual problem: People. People want to escape Earth because of people. But escaping Earth is impossible alone, so you have to escape with other people ... which means you're bringing along with you every single problem you are trying to escape from.

We'll never escape each other, we can only learn to live with each other, wherever we are.

Incidentally, The Expanse is a fantastic sci-fi book series and tv series that covers this beautifully.
