Trying to run from our problems is pointless. Hawking is wasting what little time he has left IMO.

Will you share with us what you think is not a waste of time ?

It seems I missed that info all together.

If being happy and passionate about what you do is a waste...

Well, since you asked. I think solving the problems we have here on earth is not a waste of time. Things here are deteriorating at a rapid pace.

No, in reality it really makes no difference whatsoever.

Any chance of survival , is according to him, in outer space.

He could be right of course, but that view is not new.

And is it not normally very logical to assume then that as soon as it is achievable for us, that we are technological and financially [and spiritually???] ready and capable of travelling further into our solar system then we did until now to the moon, we sorely will do that, and Mars will be most likely the next step.

But even that will take [officially] some time.

And perhaps even in the far future beyond our solar system into space.

I assume he thinks that the possibility of contact to a species that will exterminate us is still a better option then stay on earth and go the way of the Dodo anyway.

Well, I do not buy that saying of him and really don’t understand how he can say that, but that’s a whole other discussion.
