Yes, however we should wait about 500,000,000 years, cause the earth will be rendered uninhabitable by the sun around that time anyway.
Such a weird question, FTL would theoretically be a savior to the human race, but in what scenario would it be necessary to destroy the earth to make it work. Why couldn't you sacrifice Venus, or Neptune, or just fly for a decade or two out of the solar system before turning it on?
It's a philosophical dilemma. Is it worth destroying all we have in hopes of finding something more?
No? How is that even a question. There's almost 0% chance there's any world out there that's remotely suitable for human life.
We don't even know if there's any life out in the universe aside from on earth, why destroy it for no reason?
