  • If we are to survive we better start being proper stewards of this planet and realistically start thinking of colonization space and soon.The fact is all our eggs are in one basket and we will suffer the same fate as the dinosaurs if we don't use our brains and technology to save our species.

  • I think.. he's too optimistic. We are intelligent super species, but not yet "global" enough to be able to deal with the many terrestrial problems such as ozone destruction. Maybe I am too pessimistic.

  • here on earth...well, the rich gets all the good things and thats pretty much it!

  • Noone is not going to now when the world going to end. God nows just god,no humen or animal. like he said "im comin back soon" and u dont now how soon or what.when he come back is then, no one dont have to start kill youself or freakin out... Just stop global warning and we all will be a live to see your kids kids and kids... :)

  • @kenfla2 no

  • Why are we still talking about global warming? Wasn't it proven that it was lie from the Russians?

  • It is a humbling thought, that in the end, the only trace of our human civilization will be nothing more but a sphere of radio signals, a few 1000 lightyears thick (if we are lucky), expanding into space...

    Let's sit for a while and think about all "IF"s there could be, I'm sure we'll get anywhere, before WE DIE, eventually. So yeah, thanks for the enlightenment, oh smart one.

    You saying I am dumb, really means something from a man knowing a lot more than I would ever know, sorry, a lifetime wouldn't be enough to get as smart and all knowing as you. I'm really sorry.

    Have a nice day.
