Do you believe humans will ever expand into space from Earth?

Question

Will we ever create permanent settlements on another planet or moon? Will we colonize the stars?

I personally think that we are already at the peak of our civilization. I predict that we will use up all of our resources and have a global crash of economies. Building spacecraft that could take us to the stars (or even other planets) just requires more resources than our planet can produce. I don't think our civilization will rise for long enough for us to figure out how to make a warp drive, or fusion ramjet, or whatever would be needed.

What do you think?

Answer 1

Maybe some day. But not in our lifetime. Then again you never know they could get outside help.

Answer 2

"Do you believe humans will ever expand into space from Earth?"

I don't think obesity will ever get that bad...


Seriously though, I disagree entirely. Humanity is only at the point now where its human resources are beginning their fruition, hardly near the death of the tree, though getting to the point of bringing forth good fruit take a lot of resources from the tree, it also completes its maturity. After enough seasons of maturity it becomes easy for the tree to bear fruit, but the first time is quite hard for the tree, and not much fruit come of it. Give it a few more years, you'll see this ol' world beginning to overflow with awesome things from people's collaborative efforts that will make this period look like the end part of the dark ages.

Answer 3

Absolutely, but in keeping with the humans, (especially American humans) tradition of procrasitnation, I would venture to guess that we (the Americans) will put off the necessary scientific adjustments until the last possible second, when only the brightest and boldest (and richest) will be able to escape the (at that point) hopeless void that will become our home planet. Good thing I'll be dead long before any of this actually occurs. You know, when it all boils down, being born in 1979 really wasn't that bad. I just hope I can survive to see my son grow up a little bit. have a couple of good talks and pass my money on to him. that's all I hope for. -john (rock island, il)

Answer 4

I believe man will march forward and conquer new worlds. However we may 'leave' Earth in totally unimagined ways. People could be shot up in cryostats. Frozen and asleep on their journey. Babies could be sent forth on long voyages while still in the embryonic form and taught all the skills they will require upon landing (like Superman).

Its true though that like all great exits, this one too will be precipitated by a cataclysm, probably World War III.

Answer 5

we could never imagine that we some day land on the moon but now we have made it possible .
Therefore if we believe that we can establish permanent settlements on moon it will come true .
We say that earth will be detroyed so if we make step in establishing a permanent settlement on moon today it will be useful
OR
if we think that these settlements arent worth spending money on then we should protect our planet earth ..

Answer 6

The logic hollow you're falling into with those questions, that's extremely person-friendly, arises from the undeniable fact which you're implicitly making use of universal "common-sense" innovations to severe circumstances in physics, the place they do exactly no longer persist with. it rather is carefully meaningless to ask "what's exterior the Universe" or "what got here until now the super Bang" because of the fact area-time is a sources OF THE UNIVERSE so there is not any longer something comparable to it exterior the area of the Universe. apart from, because each and every thing "exterior the Universe" is perpetually unobservable to inhabitants of the Universe, there is not any thank you to assert meaningfully what exists exterior the Universe -- it has no comprehensible meaning.

Answer 7

I certainly hope so!
Maybe in 200 to 500 yrs. from now!
We can only hope!

Answer 8

I think humans can but in our lifetime, thats a no

Answer 9

yes
but it takes centuries to develop that

Answer 10

far to costly to even think about,it will never happen of that i'm certain.
