@GetMyGist As individuals, we will all die in blink of an eye on a galactic timescale. What can live on for long time is civilization. Those who first go to other planets will face far more risk of death & hardship than those who stay. Over time, space travel will be safe & open to all.

@xkcdComic This doesn’t take into account shifting trillions of tons of carbon from subsurface to atmosphere, which could accelerate overheating time by a factor of a million (or so). This is why Tesla.

@bizwiz1980 @xkcdComic A billion at most, so 20% max. Still basically in the nick of time from an age-of-Earth standpoint.

@lazarusrang Humanity is not perfect, but it’s all we’ve got

@xkcdComic Could be very close call. Earth is ~4.5B years old & sun will expand to heat Earth beyond livable temp in ~0.5B years, so if advent of civilization took 10% longer, it wouldn’t have happened at all.

@docjkcardinal @WorldAndScience Let’s find out. It would be amazing to encounter an alien civilization, provided it is not their invasion fleet! 🛸 🛸 🛸 🛸 🛸 🛸 🛸 🛸 🛸 🛸

@DMC_Ryan @tkraenze @Tesla Good news coming soon

@Cardoso Yes

@thescalex Yes, we are essentially a steward of life & duty-bound imo to ensure its continuance

@Rossputin Life is good

It is unknown whether we are the only civilization currently alive in the observable universe, but any chance that we are is added impetus for extending life beyond Earth

This is why we must preserve the light of consciousness by becoming a spacefaring civilization & extending life to other planets https://t.co/UDDP8I1zsS

@WorldAndScience So strange

@DMC_Ryan @tkraenze @Tesla Critical autonomous safety features like emergency braking are standard, but convenience features like active cruise control are not

@jclishman @Justin_Ebright It’s a tough call. Reality is that it will be pretty easy to bully a self-driving car, as it will always yield. Will prob have a manual override that requires continuous press for hardcore lane changes.

@Justin_Ebright We considered going beyond Mad Max to “LA Freeway” level, but that’s too loco

It’s real https://t.co/L9h3F86Guo

@JohnnaSabri @kerra_henke @Kennnaughty Thanks!

@FredericLambert Cyborg Dragon Tesla almost done
