A thousand years ago it was unthinkable we could circumnavigate the globe.

We don’t understand quantum mechanics and we don’t understand gravity. There’s no reason to assume that we won’t find ways to travel the universe, e.g. by manipulating space time. We just don’t know what we don’t know.

If you had to bet based on past achievements, humanity will find a way. Our job is to push the limits as much as we can and build a foundation for future generations.

What if that's exactly what will cause our extinction, you don't know what you don't know am I right ?

But if we don't advance our technology enough to escape this planet, then we'll go extinct for sure, no ifs

In hundred millions of years...

We've been humans for 300k years, we can chill for a couple of centuries, the rush might actually cause our extinction too

The hundreds of millions of years is the, "all life starts to die for sure" time line.

There could be other disasters we don't know about between now and then.

we shouldn't rest on our laurels.
