Future

When we speak about the future, chances are you think about yours. In this case, I’m speaking of our collective future.

All astronauts or put differently, anyone who has ever seen the Earth from space (most recently William Shatner aka Captain Kirk) says the same thing: Earth is the only planet hospitable to life and it is fragile.

To ensure that there’ll be a future, we must pursue:

– conservation-focused technology and progress (to extend the lifespan of our planet)

and

– space exploration (to extend the lifespan of humanity on our planet and to create an alternative place for us to live once the Earth succumbs to our abuse and becomes hostile to life)

At this point in time, technology is our best hope. Conservation-focused technology, space exploration, AI and so on: lead the way!
