Hawking

I think Hawking's ideas about us having to create space colonies to keep the human race going are very interesting. I think it'd be fun to live in space. However, I don't really agree with his views about something happening to Earth that wipes us all out anytime soon. I think back to the Sumner articles, and I feel like we're going to be able to create technologies to keep the present Earth going for a long time yet. It makes you think about things like hybrid cars and more environmentally-sound things that come out nowadays. Hawking's talk about living in space really makes you think about alot of things, but I don't see it as something that's going to actually happen for a very long time.
