Yes, that’s my …
Yes, that’s my point of few as well. But I so see much misery and stupidity in the world that I’m afraid that it’s going to be a close call. How can we invest in knowledge if all our money goes down the drain of banks and wars?
Well, look how far …
Well, look how far we’ve come in just the last 100 years! If in 2 billion years (give or take) we havent figured out how to travel to another planet & live on it, then really, we deserve to get pummeled by another galaxy. You know what I’m sayin…
And this is why …
And this is why it’s important to develop ourselves as fast as possible, so that we can colonize another galaxy.

I call shotgun of the spaceship we’ll board when we leave Earth!
Oh-kay, so I’ll be dead by then… then I speak on behalf of my future generations!

Btw just to let you guys know, most of the human race will be wiped out when the massive volcano in yellowstone national park erupts. It is now 600 years overdue on its eruption date, meaning it could erupt any day.
When it erupts, the toxic gases will eclipse our skies from the sun, giving us no sunlight for (estimated) 3 years = X_X

We are not part of …
We are not part of the Milky Way, yet. The Milky way is still eating the Saggitarius galaxy, which our solar system is part of. Speculation is extremely interesting concerning what happens when our solar system finally becomes fully integrated with the Milky Way.
Isn’t the Milky Way …
Isn’t the Milky Way in fact not already “eating” the Saggitarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy? I’ve also read claims that our solar system may not be native to the Milky Way, is there any truth to this?
