The planet will survive. Whether we get to be here and enjoy it, or enjoy life as we've known it, is what's questionable.

It's time for the human race to enter the solar system.

I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.

I believe, I truly believe, that humans will be living off of this planet, at some point in the future. It's inevitable for us, and it seems like a reasonable and realistic progression for us as a human race. We won't last on this planet - not forever.

It's feasible that we'll meet other sentient life forms and conduct commerce with them. We don't now have the technology to physically travel outside our solar system for such an exchange to take place, but we are like Columbus centuries ago, learning fast how to get somewhere few think possible.

Some day we'll move into space and start ensuring the survival of our species beyond Earth, whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand.

The chances of each of us coming into existence are infinitesimally small, and even though we shall all die some day, we should count ourselves fantastically lucky to get our decades in the sun.

But I don't think we'll go there until we go back to the moon and develop a technology base for living and working and transporting ourselves through space.

If we descended from space aliens, that's just as viable as Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, as far as I'm concerned.

We're going to understand that there is life on other bodies in the solar system.
