I have to disagree with you on this Oberon. If its true that entropy is going to slowly destroy the universe then I think we should go out and consume as much resources as possible and "empire build". Spread, propagate and consume because somewhere in a vast Human Empire someone might discover a way out and we might have the resources to accomplish it.
Every planet we colonize or space habitat we build is like a mini-"Foundation" dedicated to this effort.
