and completely unrelated to politics, Israel/Palestine, or anything else really.
So at what point do you think the government has to start making long-term projections about the end of the planet? Given that the sun will ultimately consume itself, and likely take the Earth with it, at what point in time do you realistically plan on finding a new planet that is hospitable to humans, where civilization can start anew.
Or do you think humans will destroy eachother and the planet in the end, causing the elimination of mankind? |

To answer your questions:
1) in the future
2) in 1500 more years exactly
3) no |

Bush starts up the space program again.
sets up a colony on the moon
civil war between the moon and earth
overpopulation of earth
depletion of resources on earth
massive tranport of "earthlings" to moon
civil war between "moonmen" colonies and "earthling" colonies.
winner takes all |

Yeah, except the moon doesn't really have any natural resources or atmosphere, and would surely be taken out with the Earth in the end. I mean, if humans are going to be a lasting race, they gotta start figuring out how to go intergalactically to start anew. (Perhaps an Adam and Eve...typical movie plot). It's easier to believe that little human-like planets are budding up and burning out all over the universe, at random, wherever such ideal conditions exist. |

Youpus will probably use his zionist mustard/communist friends in russia to destroy the world... yeah, that is how it will end!
or perhaps the world will go on as usual for another 4 billion years or so... |

| I don't know why you're worried so much...the Sun is a yellow sequence dwarf (that fuses hydrogen into helium to generate it's energy) that's about 5 billions years old (i'll try to find some good links)...usually, yellow dwarfs have a lifespan of about 10 billion years, so we still have a good 5 billion years of existence to worry about things that WILL actually wipe us out as opposed to different sun cooling scenarios...like for instance, ourselves...here's to humanity wiping itself out sooner than later...:D |

Call me a Nerd, but in 4 billion years we'll either all be dead, or so spread out around the galaxy it'll be like Dune, where we can't even remember where our home planet was. I'm hoping for the second, because Dune is cool and David Lynch rules.

i was thinking about writing something (book deal!) using this idea. I told my english teacher and he said "o ya, just like Blade Runner." i've never seen the whole movie, i thought it was really really boring. but does it match up? |
