Mankind is far to fragile to keep all of its eggs in one basket.

Let's find TWO new planets to live on.
One we can name Galt's Planet The other we can name Planet Marx We will choose and send colonists accordingly |

we should find a new planet, then a new solar system, then another then another
humanity is doomed if we stay here but I doubt its going to happen in the next 100 years, but hell it might. We could have a nice sized rock slam into us any time. |

I agree we should renew focus on space exploration, but not because we have 100 years to move.

While I don't necessarily believe his time scale or ecological blather is correct, he's not wrong.
The next Dinosaur Killer Rock From Space is on the way, we don't know when, but it IS coming. Be a good idea to have a sustainable population other than on Earth, don't you think? |

A hundred years before landing on the moon, cars and airplanes didn't exist.
I see no reason why we couldn't reach for the goal of populating other planets. It would suck to burry our heads in the sand and have Earth get another mass extinction and kill off mankind. |

So let me get this straight.
You think Hawking is a nutcase because he is suggesting that humans may not survive on Earth for another 100 years, as such we should push to go out and colonize space. And you counter with advocating for Governments to use taxes to influence people's behavior in a manner that governments deem acceptable?

It's hard to gauge the probabilities on such a thing.
Global warming, climate change? Unlikely. If those on "that side" of the argument really believed it, instead of just using it as a way to soft-peddle international Marxism and as a political weapon, we'd see a desperate wholesale push for nuclear fission power. They'd be divesting themselves of seafront real estate. They'd be investing in a pattern consistent with believing this was all true. And they are not. However, we are going to be entering into a rather scary time when hell... not even ISIS or North Korea, but just a pissed off teenager could design a doomsday plague using CRISPR right on his desktop in the coming decades. That's going to be rather froggy. Space makes for one hell of a quarantine. But mostly, getting back to the OP's post and back on topic, it's really just that nobody wants to be mean to the Gimp in the wheelchair and say: "SHUT UP STEVEN! BLACK HOLE MATH DOESN'T MEAN YOU KNOW SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE." |

Ridiculous. I feel like this guy is just seeking attention now with these prophetic predictions. The key to the continuation of humanity doesn't lie in some pipe dream about colonizing space. It lies in learning to live SUSTAINABLY on our own world. The key to such a thing is a gradual reduction in the human population to below 1 billion individuals. Free contraception for all, and payments for those who abstain from having children would be critical to such a goal. SNIP lol. I like how you call him ridiculous but then immediately go to bat with wiping out 6.5+ billion people in the name of sustainability. Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc. tremble at the terror that lives in your mind. |

You know, the way thinks seems to be these days it might be better if we did stay confined to Earth. We seem to be a rather screwed up lot recently and it would be a shame to infect the rest of the Cosmos with us.
