BYE BYE PLANET EARTH
Some things in life we destroy, planet Earth could be one of them!
This is an article written for the #octoberinleo writing prompt series for the Day 20 prompt ....
This prompt could be described as being a bit ... Out of This World ...
Catch the original announcement in this thread
Day 20!
How long do you think it would take for humans to migrate to the outer space?
This topic ... well it is not far away at all ... find out why ....
Space The final Frontier
As a kid I remember Star Trek and Space The Final Frontier saying ....
but I tell you what, we have been conquering space little by little for years even decades now.
Will we colonise other planets?
Of course we fluffing will.
Just look at history, every race has at times conquered other countries or even other villages.
That is what we do, there are always people who lead a race who end up being megolomaniacs....
If you thought that was what happened in history, then look at each continent now, it is still happening as much as before.
We are hellbent on destroying not only ourselves but also our planet.
I believe migrating to outer space is not only a luxury but it is going to become a necessity...
Humans are a curious species
Oh yes we are, and it is how we do things, in theory it is how we advance and grow.
So naturally we have been curious when it comes to what else is out there and so we have been exploring space.
With the advent of SpaceX and Musk it seems that space is back in the spotlight again!
Offcourse there are drawbacks to overcome, the cost for starters! Not too mention the radiation or vaccuum or no atmosphere lack of oxygen etc. Then the length of time away from people....
Yeah we are not ready to adopt mass space travel just yet!!
Survival of the human species
Do you know the dinosaurs? No of course you don't personally, but you know of them....
What happened to them?
Well bam... they got wiped out by an asteroid strike I believe....
What if that asteroid strike was to happen again?
Bam .. no more fcuking humans on other is what happens!
So just like preservation breeding in a zoo, we could send a few humans into space to start all over again just incase there is a natural disaster.
I already touched on our self destruction, but nature could do its part too!
I mean what if there was a really lethal pandemic...
**So yeah a self-sustaining colony on another planet could ensure the continuation of humanity if our Earth becomes uninhabitable. **
Humans breed like rabbits and are greedy!
Okay so that is a bit of an over exaggeration but the world population is exploding!
There is nothing wrong with procreating, that is what we do besst, you know the whole make love not war thing ..... but ....
the more of us there are the more resources we gobble up!
And as our tech advances the more exotic metals and materials we need to build better and faster gadgets to make our lives even easier!
So yeah if we don't destroy our planet we could bleed it dry so to speak!
Wen moon!
Of course in the crypto verse we are all well versed with the phrase ....
Wen Moon or To the Moon
Well we got there in what 1960something
So yes I can see us putting people on another planet or actually building a space colony on a planet within the next ten years.
We have had a space station for many years, so the next step has to be starting to build a colony on some foreign land.
But then here we go again, would be intent on destroying each other there too?
Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoyed my response to the prompt.
