Has anyone heard of the asteroid named Apophis by astronomers? Apparently, it is projected to hit the earth in 2029, if it hits the gravitational "keyhole" (as the msn article put it). If not, then in 2036. Unless they use some means of inching it away from that keyhole.
If, and when, it hits us, it is estimated to cause some $400 Billion in damages, not to mention the inevitable gross loss of human life. While it won't completely destroy everything, the subsequent economic disaster could very well do us in.
I lolled hard.I think Solaris has been knocking back the shandy again.
Really, there will be some catastrophe, but it isn't likely to wipe out ALL human life. And those few humans who live will continue on, because we're like that, until we are forced to die from the earth becoming uninhabitable. I highly doubt the likelihood of expanding into space and onto other planets because of the massive amount of energy that is needed.
I'm still here...I'm waiting for the Czech (Cheque!).
Ha-ha-ha!
Colonising space is not a matter of possibility, but inevitability.
They're already planning how they're going to colonise and terraform Mars. I was born in the wrong era...three or four generations too early. *sigh*
I can say nothing at the ridiculousness of this statement. Do you realize how much energy it would take to "colonize and terraform" Mars? And here on Earth we are going to be struggling to find enough energy to run our "normal" activities soon, unless we get the 1 in a million "fusion" energy.

It's obvious people. Crab People are going to take us over soon.
