A Survival Imperative for Space colonization
By John Tierney

This article is about how a scientist who is also a teacher at Princeton has predicted how long the earth should survive and how we need to start a colony on mars in the next 46 years to be able to survive the next time something happens to the earth. The whole point of this overly long article is that with science it is weird that we have not colonized on any other worlds since it is a common thing. I don’t believe that anyone can really predict when the earth will end based on this that have supposedly happened in the past. To me this seems to be a lot of work and studying for nothing that will really help what we should be trying to figure out with our own government and the earth at this current moment.
