You can imagine an ancient civilization on Venus right at the brink of the runaway greenhouse effect. They know it's coming. They know it will kill everything on the planet, given a short amount of time. They look up to the untouched flower that is earth and wonder if they can travel to that planet and live there. But no, they realize, that jewel

I've thought about this before. Mars, we could probably learn to live on within the next few generations.. if only out of necessity. I personally think it would be much better to use Mars as a host to our factories and waste, so as to not clutter Earth with that shit. Develop some kind of transportation system to ship things back and forth. Of course it would be entirely too slow at first, but technology will advance.. things will speed up. Then we wouldn't have such a problem. I don't know how it would affect things in the long run, but hey, I'll be dead by the time it's a problem anyway and if I have kids, they'll probably be long dead, too.

Or if not Mars, the moon. Not even for humans, just factories and automated assembly lines, things like that.

You remind me of how much I feel like saving the earth. You know, I used to be a fucking hippy freak. I'm talking like 3rd grade. I wouldn't even let people in the house run the water for too long. I drew little pictures of sad fish out of water and posted them everywhere.

That's actually a pretty good idea. Though it's going to happen a lot sooner than you think. Within the next 20 years or so things are going to go to shit, 'specially with the climate. Things are going to suck a major amount of ass and it's too fucking late to do anything about it.

I can imagine, a century in the future, where we are living on mars. The earth is a barren wasteland surrounded by thousands upon thousands of dead satellites. We'll have to live in giant bubbles at first, while we slowly terraform Mars into a habitable planet. The only problem with Mars is it's distance from the sun and the fact that it is too small to hold any kind of atmosphere for very long.

Imagine human beings 10 feet tall or more. That will happen too, because of the low gravity. In time, humans will cease to be humans. They will be martians.

That's my dad's theory on aliens. Did he ever talk to you about that? His idea is that eventually the planet will change so much that we will be forced to grow taller, thinner, with very large eyes and large pupils (due to less light being available)... our skin will turn gray, everything will evolve and mutate to make it so we can live in an otherwise inhabitable place.

But what reassures me is the thought of rebirth. The planet is constantly changing. It will heal itself. We will never see it, but it will happen. The plates will not stop shifting, lava will form new land, things will heat and cool and eventually settle down. That's how we got here in the first place. We are just specks on a planet that is not even finished forming.

The beginning and end of the human race has and will be very very interesting. I regret that we won't be able to see the finale. Hah, no finale, just a whimper.
