Hawking Says So

"The survival of the human race depends on its ability to find new homes elsewhere in the universe because there's an increasing risk that a disaster will destroy Earth."

Apparently that's true. Stephen Hawking says it's true anyway and he knows a lot of things. He knows a lot about space... and time. He also says that we need to colonise The Moon and then Mars

""Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global warming, nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers we have not yet thought of."

I'm rooting for the virus. Man made disasters seem like the most obvious way for us to go. What with everyone racing for power, one country will definately end up using a virus as a weapon honestly believing that they are in control. However, the dangers that we have not thought of does cover a lot more possibilites.

However, other great minds say it's probably easier to build underground bases in Antarctica. Come on, I don't want to live underground! It's all about the Moon!
