I call Jupiter!

You might want to figure out where you're going to go.

Stephen Hawking has a few words to say about our planet and our genetic code.

"Our population and our use of the finite resources of planet Earth are growing exponentially, along with our technical ability to change the environment for good or ill. But our genetic code still carries the selfish and aggressive instincts that were of survival advantage in the past. It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand or million.

Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space."

Pretty grim stuff but also fascinating.
What do you think will happen?
