Please excuse me for asking another abrupt question.
As our DNA has been dramatically altered by
pollutants, how will this affect human growth in an
environment like space and why the hell didn't this
"space genius" realize much earlier in his career that
we were poisoning ourselves?
This idiot thinks he must save the human race after
the fact that he and other greedy scientists knew it
was being killed. How can one that aids and abets
death ever hope to know what life is, let alone save it?
I would never put my life in such moronic hands and
hope he and all his colleagues get stuck in a time
warp so humanity will finally be rid of these parasites
forever.
Hawking says humans must go into space:

HONG KONG - The survival of the human race depends on
its ability to find new homes elsewhere in the
universe because there's an increasing risk that a
disaster will destroy the Earth, world-renowned
scientist Stephen Hawking said Tuesday.
The British astrophysicist told a news conference in
Hong Kong that humans could have a permanent base on
the moon in 20 years and a colony on Mars in the next
40 years.
"We won't find anywhere as nice as Earth unless we go
to another star system," added Hawking, who arrived to
a rock star's welcome Monday. Tickets for his lecture
planned for Wednesday were sold out.
He added that if humans can avoid killing themselves
in the next 100 years, they should have space
settlements that can continue without support from
Earth.
"It is important for the human race to spread out into
space for the survival of the species," Hawking said.
"Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being
wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global
warming, nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus
or other dangers we have not yet thought of."
The 64-year-old scientist — author of the global best
seller "A Brief History of Time" — is wheelchair-bound
and communicates with the help of a computer because
he suffers from a neurological disorder called
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.
Hawking said he's teaming up with his daughter to
write a children's book about the universe, aimed at
the same age range as the Harry Potterbooks.
"It is a story for children, which explains the
wonders of the universe," his daughter, Lucy, added.
They didn't provide other details.
