    Good luck with all of that, instead of trying to escape earth all those billionaires would have more luck investing there money right here and right now!

    Claire, you too funny! 🙂 The key to space exploration is to find those worm holes that can transport us gazillions of miles and days forward and reverse. Forward is probably better.

    If we can’t terraform the earth what makes people think we can do it to another planet? Answer? Ego lol

    Good luck being naive. Humans have evolved for centuries in this habitat and are bound to it. There is no easy shortcut to survive without evolving to adapt to new habitat first. It takes time human race would never have trying to abandon this planet for another habitat. Once you destroy it, game over. As simple as that. Amazing how difficult it is to humans to accept basic laws of biology. You are not able to travel in space since you are not a virus or one cell simple organism. You are not immortal without harming yourself and you might never will be this way just because you are not hydra, you have to sexes at least to have natural offspring (any gender realted ideological quarell aside, we simply mean about how biological not supported by medicine reproduction system have evolved), yes, you are highly intelligent but this doesn’t mean that other forms of intelligence you cannot cmmunicate with like whales or crows or cats are around you. There is however a difference because centuries ago this habitat has favoured your evolution for a while and you took advantage of it. It’s not going to last forever and it may very well shift in favour of any other biological creature from this habitat. So maybe enjoy your 5 minutes humankind and be grateful instead of turning on your own with fancy toys and trying to speed up infavorable changes in your own habitat which might happen even without your own contribution. Your carbon dioxide footprint matters, but so does matter any volcanic eruption and ozon layer really doesn’t know any ideology and will shrink, what is harmful to you ,in reaction to gases from both sources. Yes, keep dreaming about escape to outerspace. There is recent research into something that doesn’t fascinate humans as nearly as making bombs or building tech, and it’s research into how human brain handles being into outer space for a longer time. And results are not so promising. So maybe before dreaming big on this you do ask yourself do you still have time to research how you will be able to keep your own brain alive once you get there. And yes, I’ve almost forgotten there is a link between this question an human interest in uranium. But before humankind gets there maybe it will simply extinguish itself out of fascination with using uranium simply for making self-destructive fancy toys. Once first truely AI becomes self-aware I wonder for how long it will laugh at the concept that humans doing all those things they have been doing really wanted to believe in their own rationality, in being logical and spending their time, money and tools available to keep themselves busy with right things. But yes, let’s escape to outer space so that some very non advanced single cell organism could kill you also due to low immunity and brain unable to sustain your life due to prolonged stay in a habitat it doesn’t evolved to handle. Good night and good luck

    We humans are not human just because of our DNA ? no. We are mortal and human because we come from the planet ? Earth ?‼️ Once we leave this planet’s many influences and our place in the Sun ? we start to become something else…! As it is now we merely tolerate each other…? come back here, to Earth with even a tan and you face bitter hate, subjugation, annihilation, and that is on a good day. The rest of the Universe is chanting it already: ‘ BUILD THAT WALL! BUILD THAT WALL!!’‼️?

    fiction became reality, from the Gundam anime series to this….. SIDE from Universal Century Gundam = O’Neill “Island 3” type colony cylinders, Stanford “Island 2” type layout for Space Colonies from Gundam Wing, Productive Location Ally on Nexus Technology or PLANT from Gundam SEED, Bernal Sphere-type colony for Gundam 00, what else did we miss.

      But that fiction was based on the science created in reality. So, really, the fiction based on reality is becoming reality. Also, Gundam Wing is the best. Cannot wait for a united Earth!

    1st ‘space tube’ for the ultra rich. 100th space tube for the fairly well off and the 10,000th for the recent college grad or entry level tradesmen. Plenty of raw material floating around up there with limitless solar power ?✨

    So we’ve wrecked this planet, so it’s time for Plan B, which is to colonise another world and wreck that one, then another one and another one and so on, while we are claiming to be an intelligent species..

    so how is colonising another world going to solve the problem , how is that going to stop us wrecking planet after planet through our inability to control our species numbers to stop it over populating a planet and wrecking it.?

    that’s what you should be talking about, not about colonising other worlds to solve the overpopulation problem, we should be talking about how are we going to learn how to respect a planet, so we can live on it without destroying its limitations, for that’s what we need to learn before we go colonising other worlds, otherwise we’ll be leaving this planet out of desperation and becoming invaders of other planets which will be less advance then us, So it seems the film Avatar is not a sci-fi film, it is fact of our future, not much to be proud of is it. it will mean we will have learnt nothing except how to destroy planets, so instead of being explorers will be invaders will be like a virus spreading from host to host destroying as we go. how can we claim to be an intelligent species behaving like that?

    The only way you can back up what you claim that you are in intelligent species is by controlling the amount of people on each planet starting with this one, so we do not over populate and wreck them. I can see it in the future instead of dumping our human and domestic waste in the oceans will be dumping it in space.

    it seems it’s anything but let’s control our numbers and bring them down to an acceptable level that each land mass can naturally support and keep them there with constructive laws which we should easily embrace because we are an intelligent species and we understand where we live, which is not an endless space, it is a limited one and it has a very delicate balanced ecosystem, and because we understand that we are going to control our numbers, so we don’t just mindlessly multiplying and destroy that limited space then move onto the next limited space and destroy that one and the next and the next.

    so will be travelling through the universe leaving a trail of dead planets in our wake with trillions of our own species dying a slow lingering death on them planet, is that the best you so-called intelligent people can come up with.

    when I listen to things like this it just shows you how childish and immature the human race really is, it has no ability to solve a single problem, it can’t solve child poverty ,it can’t solve crime, it can’t solve pollution ,it can’t solve overpopulation, it can’t protect anything, not even its own children. and it is talking about colonising other worlds so all it’s doing is running away from the problems it’s stupidity is created.

    The human race the joke species.

    Funny, I dont imagine super rich people going anywhere. Because once there gone, how are they going to keep making money? Think about it, most super rich people make their fortune selling products that require mining raw materials, like oil, ore, wood, water. And even if they could use meteors and exploit asteroids, the distances, logistics and cost of transporting these materials would make no scene. Unless faster than light speed is invented, we’re stuck on Earth. And living on Mars is just illogical. No matter how bad stuff gets here on Earth, its still beats anywhere on the solar system. We still have unlimited supply of oxygen, water, and gravity. And even if the planet freezes over, it will still be warmer and cooler than any moon or planet out there.

    Actually, I think the Earth will be turned into a limited population natural paradise for Billionaires, and those who don’t qualify to live on Earth will be relegated to space.
