Story Highlights
• Renowned physicist says we need to explore and colonize other worlds
• Hawking: Ideas in "Star Trek" not that far fetched
• Hawking to get Copley medal, world's oldest award for scientific achievement
• Hopes Virgin tycoon Richard Branson can help him get to space

Do you think we need to go to other planets?
