What does getting crowded have to do with sending off interstellar

you really need some more explanation. Shipping vanishingly tiny
fragments of your population away at great cost isn't a solution to
crowding problems.

The more people there are, the more people will be nuts enough to be
willing to move to another planet.

It is mans destiny to explore and colonize. Another planet is no worse
than the "new world".
