It seems unlikely that humans will be able to colonize other planets any time soon which would help preserve the human race after an extinction level event -- it will take some impending catastrophe to make that happen, and it's not clear that even then world governments could work together to make it happen.
If Europeans hadn't settled North America, is there reason to think the American Indians would be extinct today?

What makes you think this trend won't continue? Especially given the ongoing technological advancements and cost savings we are seeing from companies like SpaceX?

- meddlepal 9y agoAgreed. Right now it looks like we may attempt a Mars Colony in my lifetime and by 2100 I wouldn't be surprised if there were dozens of Martian colonies.
