There is some discussion in the media about this at the moment and I know there has been scientific speculation for many years. Will we survive our own 'apocalyptic' course to manage to get it together sufficiently to truly leave the earth for another world?
I wonder if any civilisation would make it, or is just us who look like we are in self-destruct mode. Could any civilisation sufficiently develop socially, culturally and scientifically to a point where the technology is available to achieve this. I'm afraid I'm not hopeful for our species; I just can't see us even keeping it together for more than another 50 to 60 years due to population pressures.
I don't mean to be misanthropic, just practical.
Thoughts.
Edit: I didn't want of post this in debates or spirituality, for obvious reasons.
