Do you think we will ever have cities on other planets? Maybe the moon or even Mars or Venus since they are the closest. That would be so amazing lol would be like The Jaunt!

^ Shiznit...on what channel am I missing something?
Edit: Ok, I wiki'd, have not seen it. Yet.
That's scaryLooks like we have no other choice. Experts estimate that the earth’s sustainable human population is around 2 billion people. The wold population is currently 7.2 billion people. By 2050 it will be over 9 billion, and 30 years later over 10 billion. Humanity currently consumes resources at a rate 50% faster than the earth can produce them.
According to Stephen Hawking, humanity will only be able to survive on earth for about 1,000 more years.
So if we don’t have major natural catastrophes, massive wars, diseases or viruses that will greatly reduce human populations, we better forcibly curtail human births to draconian levels in short order... if we can’t find a way to leave earth.
But nature has a way of balancing things out. It’s just more complicated with humans. Luckily we are an inherent violent species, and if we can’t find a way to colonize other planets or moons we’ll just kill each other off to a sustainable level.
Now that would make for a good Stephen King novel, eh?
Yes it is. Much easier to swallow when it's in a fictions King novel rather than the unfortunate reality of things.That's scary
Defiance anyone (on Syfy)? Upcoming Season 2, looks interesting...Sheemiee?
Yes, we will, although likely they will be under the surface of whatever body we inhabit. There's a lot of hostile radiation out there.
