We don't know exactly how much time is on Earth, but I'm actually pretty content with jst letting things run its course.. and when humanity is gone, then it's gone. Who knows when that will be or how it will happen, but the idea of colonizing another planet just seems so far-fetched for me. Is it really that plausible? To eventually send like millions of people to Mars? It would take unbelievably long to set up a society on another planet, and I feel like it's just a ton of money spent on something that isn't realistic.

I'm sure your kids will appreciate that sentiment, and their kids too, and their kids too...

*shrug*

I'm just not concerned with it. Doesn't matter when the world ends, there's gonna be billions of people wiped out when human life ceases to exist on Earth anyways. I'd rather use those billions of dollars on nearly anything else than a space program which hasn't produced benefits for the amount of money being spent.

Eventually I think humanity is going to come to an end. Not really worrying about my great, great, great, great, great granchildren who are hundreds of years away from being born.
