My descendants are going to be out on Europa by the time that happens. Soaking up some pleasant (albeit red) summertime rays.

Probably a heck of a lot further out than that. In another 4 billion, or so, years we'll probably be populating a large percentage of the galaxy. By that time one star going through it's death throws won't kill us off. Of course ... by that time we might find a way to rejuvenate good ol' Sol and keep him burning for a heck of a lot longer.

On the other hand, by that time we probably won't care too much about physical stars and planets. We'll have engineered ourselves way beyond that stage of existence LONG before then.

Heck, this thread needs an Art Bell Ping.
