      Hopefully. And hopefully if we survive as a species for that long, we’ll have found a way to travel to other solar systems so that we keep going.

      I think part of the human evolution nowadays is a technology evolution and so I think it will be interesting to see how things change. Also if the sun is changing and it is changing the environment on the Earth this will be a pressure point that the human race will need to adapt to and adaptation leads to change and evolution.

      There is a long time before that happens so there may be many different changes and challenges that we have to face but with near space travel becoming slightly easier it shows that technology is improving all the time.
