Task people with living on other planets and they will overcome obstructions and excel .........we need other places to live. Earth will not be enough in the coming years and given some type of ELE may occur we should have colonies in place ensuring the survival of the species. Why is it so critical that the species survive? I'm not saying its not but at a point one has to think eventually we will die out after all we are just a blip on the scales of time.

I dont think its critical at all.....in fact I dont find humans to have many redeeming qualities. But our self preservation instinct is strong and I suspect if you were to poll a million people 99% of them would want the species to survive an ELE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Not critical. Why is it? There won't be anyone around to worry about it. I'm not saying I don't want the human race to survive but where the resources are put to ensure that must have a balance. Lots of species go extinct. I look at it this way. If there is a God and that's a big if, he/she/it will protect the species for a long time into the future if we are deserving. If there isn't a God then we are not all that more significant other than to ourselves than any other species that went the way of the Dodo. I'm much more inclined to use resources for protecting Earth than wasting them on living on naturally unsustainable planets or moons and especially wasting them on trying to reach planets that we can only make far reaching guesses that are inhabitable and take thousands and thousands of years to reach. I'm all for researching perpetual energy/motion or anything else that would be needed for those types of projects as long as their was a benefit to mankind here.

I don't think (at present) it is either. Why would God protect us but not the Dodo? Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not do the research yourself. I think you just look for arguments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
