Translation: "We need to clean up our act in this cave before we try building grass huts. Otherwise we'll just make the same mistakes out there that we're making in here."
We actually could try to build grass huts when we were still living in caves. But we currently can't 'try to get off the planet', not even for very small numbers of people. The ISS is as good as it gets at the moment and that's solidly tied to our economies and our ability to supply it.
And even that might not last long. Space is - sadly - currently not a priority.
