@AspenProposal Earth is finite but perhaps the universe is infinite. Should the five hundred years into the future take this into account?

Elon Musk has said ““I would love to see, you know, a trillion humans living in the solar system. If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins…Our solar system would be full of life and intelligence and energy.”

@Panchoram Elon Musk has said a number of silly things lately. If we are struggling to meet the physical and psychological needs of humanity on a planet to which we are uniquely suited by millions of years of evolution, we certainly not going to succeed at doing that on airless planets or enclosed space habitats. We are expressions of the earth.
@AspenProposal @Panchoram have you read Cloud Cuckoo Land. I liked the ending on the starship #starship #population #seeds #humanity #earth
@Panchoram No, I haven't read it.
