Bottom line? We need to eventually leave this planet, period. There’s no if’s about this.

The positive is that we’ve got a couple thousand years as a minimum to get smart, explore, and find other places.

For those big into big fancy buildings or statues for the future....you might as well prepare for the day that it won’t really matter anymore.

Humans leaving the planet could be extremely difficult. Far easier to move the Earth out a ways to keep it in the habitable zone.

I say in the next thousand years we start building giant spacecraft in orbit, a fleet of them, for the day when we have to the leave to plunder other solar systems of their resources.

We are V.

Haven't we done enough damage here?

Maybe it's the way of things that when a species develops the technology to colonize other solar systems those same technologies will cause it to self destruct.
