What is the human race end game?

either we reach out and colonise the solar system before exhausting earth or we dont.

then either we travel to the stars before the sun burns out or we dont

then we travel to different universes before this one ends or we dont.

ofc during this whole time we either destroy ourselves or we dont.

Sounds like such a lot of hard work when you can just watch Deep Impact, no?

yeah, forgot to be clear that exhausting earth/destroying ourselves includes big space rocks, climate change, overpopulation/starvation, random black holes showing up, accidentally creating black holes, nuclear Armageddon, space aids, covid-2 genetically engineered boogaloo, awakening cthulu, some other form of Armageddon as yet unknown to science or picking a fight with/being enslaved by some random alien civilization.

kinda scary to think how fragile our existence is on the universal scale.

Tbf I had a dream last night that I dropped a brick on my head and died. Life is pretty fragile in any case.
 
There is no end game. We survive, and we evolve to increase our chances of survival. At some point our luck will run out.
 
Eventually Something in the air will be BAD, as in kills humans rapidly as soon as they start breathing. You heard it here first lol
 
Thats why there is an arguement about funding space travel, space technology etc.

OK, take for example how much money the US goverment spend on space travel, when there much poverty, you could argue, surely better spend helping starving people than making fancy rockets to make political statements, but..............

At some point in the future, with absolute certaintainty, we will need to travel away from this planet. And you have to start thinking about it sometime. But the sun imploding isnt going to happen for a VERY long time.

But I agree with others, as much as I hope it doesnt happen in our lifetime, or our kids, and kids after that, I do think something will wipe us out, probably a giant space rock, if not ourselves through nuclear wars.

The things with nuclear wars, is even a terrible one, only a few humans need to survive. Same with some really nasty desease, look at aids or small pox, always some exception that simply dont get affected. A giant space rock is game over.

I dont know why goverments dont take it more seriously, I think there is an attitude that it'll never happen to us, a bit like the UK goverment and coronavirus, and look what happened there. We are starting to have the technology now, and with serious investment more so for asteroid detection and diversion. If you know about it early enough only the lightest of forces is needed to deflect an asteroid off course. In my opinion, outside of us destroying ourselves, is the most prominent threat to humanity.
