    Moat likely, no -- other planets than Earth; such as Mars, Jupiter, Venus, etc., cannot sustain life due to elements only found on Earth that mix together. In other words, other planets have too much of an element, or too little of one. It's as simple as that.

    I wouldn't blame Muslims.

    We have the technology to at least go to other planets, especially Mars. We could leave tomorrow if we really wanted to.

    We will eventually colonize other planets. I think that humanity will never end, which will require that we leave Earth altogether at some point a few billion years in the future.

    Besides that, space exploration and colonization is the solution to so many of our problems. You mention problems with Muslims, for instance. Wouldn't it be grand if each fanatical religious sect, of all sorts, could fly off to their own planet and leave the rest of us alone? Our economic System is built on the idea of perpetual growth, which is only possible (yet unavoidable) if we expand into space.

    We're really dragging our feet on this issue and I simply don't understand why. It is the very most important thing our species could do at the moment.

    people will under no circumstances set up colonies on different worlds. There are on the instant no universal appropriate planets. If any exist they're plenty too a strategies away to attain. consistently endure in recommendations, there's no movie star Trek destiny for humanity and positively no quicker-than-easy return and forth, no Warpcontinual. and there is no way that spacecraft will ever be geared up that could desire to proceed to exist a multi-generational voyage to a a strategies away international, notwithstanding if one substitute into got here across. there's no way that folk could board one among those deliver, understanding that they and their infants & grandchildren could die till now attaining Yonada or notwithstanding the region could be called. As for the 2d component to the question, my reaction is definitely sure. go searching, civilization as we've universal it somewhat is done. All it fairly is left is the crying over who's in charge. human beings should not be having infants anymore. infants born at present will stay their adulthood in an rather diverse international than what we've.

    Haha i like John P's answer .!

    Everyone thinks that Muslims are soo bad, and mean or whatever everyone keeps saying about us ,

    But for real, im just a nice, funny, Muslim , girl, that goes to junior highschool, that likes to sing and dance . and my favorite thing is playing the piano /

    going to the movies on friday with a couple of my friends to see Vampires Suck .

    and is fasting this month, and im not going to lie and say i pray all five prayers everyday, but i do try, this month i AT LEAST been praying 2 prayers a day . my goal is to make it a habit of praying all five prayers everyday by the end of this month :D

    and im planning to wear the hijab (head scarf) when i first start highschool .

    all my friends know about me and my religion . and they dont go around saying bad things about Muslims . cause they dont think anything bad about Islam because they know me, and know the truth from an actual source and not what the media and random people online say .

    and they come over my house and have sleepovers, they think my family is "awesome" . lol .

    they also watch me pray sometimes, and they think its intresting .

    so their i guess, now you can say you actually met a Muslim (online) .

    And the next time you choose to talk sh*t about us, make sure you add most of us are wonderfull peeps . could you do that , well thanks .

    oh yeah and its not called the Koran, its called the Qur'an ....... fool .

    Source(s): please choose John P as 5 stars best answer . :D thankyou for your time, hopefully you didn't just stop reading when you figured out i was Muslim . and if you want to argue over anything i just said please feel free to e mail me atttt@ Lena.xxsmiley@yahoo.com

  • I am more optimistic. I think humans will colonize other planets. Certainly, it is very possible we will discover a planet that can support life and/or is very earth like. Now if we do discover an earth like planet it will be irresistable for us. We will send a Swiss Family Robinson expedition as soon as we get the chance.

    The answer to the main part is that nobody can know. Your guess is as good as anybody's about the Muslims, but most Muslims are peaceful, as are most Christians - even Christians have massacred other Christians over technicalities in the Bible.
