Funny Dr. Drake should omit these significant factors; well documented throughout the history of mankind. They have even been hashed and rehashed in the science fiction literature for nn number of years. I think it is fair to posit that the omission of these factors does not spring from the lofty ideals of science. Could Dr. Drake have a hidden agenda? Even non-interstellar space faring societies (such as ours) early on recognize the need for migration to other planets which could be necessitated for example by in the short term, by bodies impacting their home planet or in the long term by extinction of their home star.
