I spent my whole youth dreaming about space and its possibilities. The adventure, the discoveries, the science, were all attractive to me. Today, I still think that space is our “next frontier”, but I do not think that human beings are designed to live in it.
We are also not designed to live on other planets. We have too much of our DNA invested on the planet Earth.
Maybe, someone might be able, one day, to prove that human beings were “planted” on earth, but in the meantime, I will keep the opinion that we are not meant to live somewhere else.
The job seems perfect for AI and robots though. We should focus on doing our exploration with robots. There is no need to take big risks and sometimes, at some tasks, robots can do a better job.
We are still in control of robots and we will always be. I am not afraid of that. We might experience some bumps but we will prevail, only because we have creative reason and the power to think about our thinking, one level higher, ad infinitum.
