‘Life on Earth is in peril. We have no future if we don’t go into space’
- simonblack 12y agoThat's looking through the telescope from the wrong end. We won't last long enough to go into space if we don't fix our problems on Earth. We must reduce our numbers by drastically slowing our birthrate.
- chrisbennet 12y agoIf we destroy the earth (for humans at least) there just aren't enough resources to send most (99.999%) of humanity into space. If we have "no future" on earth, we have no future period. If there was an "escape plan" for the very wealthiest and powerful, might that not hasten the destruction of the planet? If saving humanity means preserving the DNA of humans, I also question why humanity should get a "bail out" when it has proven unviable under "ideal" conditions. Cosmically, a self destructive race isn't going to be a net positive for the universe if it spreads into space.
