re: #216 LudwigVanQuixote

I wonder if Fox will get back to what worries Hawking enough that he thinks sending such a mission to go out and then repopulate the Earth would be a good thing?

No, they won’t.

Trust you saw my comment at that link.

Yeah, Fox News is trying to really put a spin on Hawkings. His reason for such a speech is exactly as you pointed out - we might need such an escape route. That Fox then tries to trump >105 year old physics (which they got wrong) as something new is just to add a smoke screen.
