>>11791373Why would it take billions? The galaxy is only 100,000 ly across. Even 1% light speed would have us reach every star within 10 million years.
>>11791400As long as we get space mining and construction started before we collapse we may be able to start working on leaving the solar system anyways. We won't need earth anymore.
>>11791760I assume whatever race is deposited in each star system will be bred for maximum happiesness. Easy to look after.
>>11791806Don't care. Settling the galaxy with trillions of O'Neill Cylenders full of dogs would be nice, or something we bred specifically for enjoying life in space.
>>11792092We will only be able to colonize the local group. Anything further than that will likely never be reachable without ftl due to cosmic inflation.
>>11792093>implying an even more destructive WWIII is not a possibility in the near future
