I think we should send the Galileo probe off in the direction of a solar system we have detected that may hold earth like planets.
The probe is limping around as it is; it probably wouldn't last long enough to get it through the series of "slingshots" needed to accellerate it out of the solar system. Steering gas is almost completely depleted. Nevertheles, I like the sentiment, would second the idea if possible.
I hope we don't die out. It would be nice for mankind to come together and last forever. Maybe just a dream, but you never know.
This is OT, but mankind won't last forever, even if we don't kill ourselves off. Evolution never stops until the entire biosphere collapses. It would probably be accurrate to wish eternity for our descendants, whoever or whatever they may be. And I don't consider this idea denegrating toward mankind as a whole. To anyone who thinks we represent the pinnacle of evolution, the end of the process, well, all I can say is, "you've got low expectations".
