I think it might be different than that...

I think each of us has a "home" planet. For some, it actually is Earth.

For others, it is further out...

There's a fair amount of evidence for this. That is why space may be "heaven"...and the "elite" can't go.

Can't have them taking over places like they do on Earth.

It's one reason I read about occultism a fair amount, because it's rather puzzling why someone would be one, personally. But it makes more sense when you look into the astrological parts and also the mentions in myths about the planets (especially planets and star systems outside our own).
