I believe that our future on this planet Earth is in great jeopardy. We have run out of a future assured by our own evolution. Our unbridled rape of our planet has caused severe climate change, a change that each year causes major destruction and death. We are threatened by ever increasing pandemics that kill millions. And soon our vaccines will fail and our race’s very survival will be threatened. We have weapons that can render our world uninhabitable. We need to take charge of our own evolution and we need to plant our human race on other planets throughout the universe. Our survival depends on that.
