multiplanetary species in the future?

[Randy]

Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, said it’s important that humans colonize other planets. Do you think we will be a multiplanetary species in the future?

 

[Smiley]

I think not... *poof*

Well, fuck. I disappeared. Thanks, René.

I think we will end up living in bubbles on other planets, but that is far in the distant future. I am sure we will bring our pets with us so there will be more than one multiplanetary species out there.

Yes, yes we will be.

To borrow the words of Valentine Wiggin, a/k/a Demosthenes (from Ender's Game), we should endeavor to spread humanity as wide and far as possible throughout the stars. Tsiolkovsky said it best - Earth may be the cradle of humanity, but man does not live in the cradle forever.

I'd rather stay in the cradle! What if my bio-dome bubble on mars gets a crack in it?

Throw Smiley out the airlock and have a party afterward?

Lol, how about some superglue. Super glue fixes everything!

Super glue fixes everything!

You mean Smiley's the superglue?
