humans won't be extinct in next 1k years, our civilization maybe but then other civilization will raise, it's happend already at least one time and most probably few times, just check dates - and i mean NEW dates, based on newest technology of some monuments like temples in egypt, sphinx or those drowned pyramids on the shores of Japan - all those monuments are marked around 10-15k years back - where is those civilization now? and who says it was 1st civilization which are no longer exist?

and i agree we should at least colonize our planetary system, for the start living inside domes - i'm not sure if we are able to do some "tarraforming" i think not yet. and for sure we should look for the way to leave our planetary system - all those as sonner the better.

Yes and no ...

Maybe my virtual child could upload some much needed extra cash into my bankaccount.

Aliens already walk among us and are refusing to share their technology until we change our warring and polluting ways...

Sorry but it's sure easy to say but there are just too many things that can wipe us out and range from full out nuclear war (most likely one)...global environment changes...comet...pandemic disease...antibiotic resistant diseases and so forth.

We don't have the technology to travel light years and probably never will and stated before really doesn't matter if we had it today.

Sorry but...

there are probably many planets near by which we haven?t found yet. technology is moving very fast. terraforming the moon could be started today but we spend more money on war than anything else. its a crazy world :( even if we did move to the moon some terrorist would blow it up.

All I can say is that I hope we can overcome the technological and other challenges, and venture out into deep space one day soon. I think we'll get there.

It took only 10 years to get to the moon once the initiative began, and today we have robots on Mars and checking out other planets in our solar system. And we have identified hundreds of other planets - something that would have been unheard of only 10 years ago.

There are some cool technologies just around the corner that will get us where we want to go. I used to think that we would wipe ourselves out before we got close, but no more. Despite the world's crazy problems, I'm very hopeful for the future.

why dont you take your conspiracy horseshit into your own tread. here i am looking for thoughts on human race viability in space. thanks.

some asshole would shoot a hole in the hull :2 cents: :2 cents:

thank you for this link. seems like people are duped that living in space will be like having a picnic on a sunny day. Basically, if we live in space, the human body will evolve so fast to adapt to the new conditions that the resulting organism may very well be the prototype aliens we see on TV. We certainly wont stay human long.

But i dont think multiple generations of a population of people can live anywhere other than this planet. We are wayyyyyy too fragile & need many resources. machine intelligence to me is the only hope of transitioning knowledge off earth.
