The Uncomfortable Truth: Without This Tech, We Won't Leave Earth

  1. If my understanding is correct, then the expansion of the sun in 6 billion years is no issue. This is because the increasing luminosity of the sun will strip our atmosphere in one year. Ok, I'll go back to watching the video now.

  2. Very interesting. Love it.❤️
    Like all species, the Humankind would either disappear or evolve into something else.
    And by the way your thought that we might evolve into a couple of species is interesting, justified and an omen of…death.
    We cannot live together right now with many resenting just the colour of the skin, imagine us divided into species more or less alike.😈

  3. Immortality and only the rich will get it when you start seeing celebrities starting to disappear probably because their age will not make sense to their outer appearance

  4. Anyone interested in these ideas about the future of humanity, I highly recommend the book 'Last and First Men' by Olaf Stapledon, written in 1930 it's a fascinating work. His later book 'Star Maker' is in my opinion even more profound, and I agree with Arthur C Clarke who said of this book; "probably the most powerful work of imagination ever written".

  5. And the question of all questions will we mostly be biological or mechanical in our adaptations to survive becoming a space fairing species 🤔

  6. What makes you think that we'll be around in another 1,000 years? Hell's bells, at the rate we're spoiling our planet and killing each other off, it's unlikely there'll be a viable number of us left by the end of this century.

  7. "Just because we can do thing, it doesn't necessarily mean that we should!"

    While gene-editing may have it's uses for many human medical afflictions, I find it ironic that the sponsor of this video is Star Trek related.

    Does no-one remember the Eugenics Wars? Sure, it's pure science fiction I know, but it does serve as a warning. If we start engineering astronauts to me more resistant to radiation, or able to better survive in harsher conditions, then what is stopping us from making augmented "super soldiers" as depicted in Star Trek Lore?

    Something to think about….🤔

  8. Just because shielding isn't used on present trips in space, doesn't mean it can't be. As soon as it's enough of a priority, it'll happen. Yep, shielding is heavy, but it's just a matter of weighing up costs. How long squishy humans should last vs fuel capacity…

  9. What’s with artificial life, which is completely different from biological life as we know it today? Cyber beings without the limitations of the biological cell based life forms? Space could be accessed way easier!

  10. Just like tattoos & plastic surgery, if you don't like it, don't do it.

    I say go for it, full speed as we should be doing in all areas of science. Stunting science is a crime against humanity.

  11. I have very scientist mind without to be one and my opinion is mine, but I believe antrhropocene is a reality, and we most likely not know the red star face of our sun, I believe today at the age of 45 than our succès to create and conçûmes will destroy us. I am not sure but once again it’s my opinion, that it’s something we should step into. Different bean and creature like dinosaure have existed before us and somethings will come after us. How wonder we have discovered and created, was only intended for us human. I am happy that I will not now that area. But once again it’s mine opinion and science in all cost as progress is not always good.

  12. Human evolution has been set on a course way different than ever before. There's not telling where that might take us. The experimentation with natural immunity may prove to be problematic.

  13. The humanity showed an exponential growth in many respects in the last 120 years, thereby extremely rapidly (on a species time scale) causing problems in our environment where we are not even near a solution, actually we are not even really trying to establish one. To my taste, the projections into the future like shown in this video are very, very… very optimistic.

  14. A pedantic point I know, but many space videos say life on Earth will be destroyed when the sun becomes a red giant. This is untrue. Life will not be viable well before that point due to the suns ever increasing temperature. Climate change aside, we have MAYBE a few 10s of million years left on this planet.

  15. Much less than a thousand, if the woke movement continues to evolve alongside technology people will choose to become whatever they want and genetic technology will allow it. we may see humans with a faces from other creatures or creatures they invent or the AI creates, stuff like that, people with ten arm I dunno imagination is the limit.

  16. We'll probably be extinct within the next hundred years, unless we stop overpopulation and avoid war. The radiation resistance gene upgrade would be useful at Chernobyl & Fukushima in the meantime.

  17. 🤣🤣🤣Are we all really "Human?" Unfortunately, there's a breed/creed who may have started de-evolving back in to roaches/pests/rats spreading viruses across the globe and another one that just may have begun de-evolving through their barbaric and fanatic activities everywhere they exist… Salute to those who can relate and identify these two breeds/creeds
