Who will guarantee that we will not take our fights to space?
We must colonize other planets to save mankind: Stephen Hawking
Andrew Griffin,The Independent | Feb 21, 2015
We should colonise other planets to protect the human race, Stephen Hawking has said. Human aggression could bring civilisation and humanity to an end and space travel will give us somewhere else to go, he said.
Space represents the long term future of the human race and can act as "life insurance" for the species, Hawking said while escorting an American visitor around London's Science Museum for a prize.
"Sending humans to the moon changed the future of the human race in ways that we don't yet understand," he said.
"It hasn't solved any of our immediate problems on planet Earth, but it has given us new perspectives on them and caused us to look both outward and inward.
"I believe that the long term future of the human race must be space and that it represents an important life insurance for our future survival, as it could prevent the disappearance of humanity by colonising other planets." Science News in Pictures
