Of course, there's no solution here for human survival after the red giant stage of the Sun's evolution, when the Sun cools to become a white dwarf.

- cgriswald 10y agoNon-biological humanity is such a solution. It makes travel to other systems much easier if we don't have to worry about generations of humans or messy biological needs. And for whatever vestiges wish to remain, we could collect the gasses the Sun sloughs off during its red giant phase and use them for fuel, as well as moving closer in - and we wouldn't need the Earth.
- mirceal 10y agoNon-biological humanity or a biologically enhanced humanity? :)
- Retric 10y agoThe gas giants could provide a lot of fuel after stars die. Interstellar gas is even more abundant if harder to collect. You can also gain quite a bit of energy from dumping matter into black holes. What to do after that point is a much more difficult question.
