The great thing now is that we are currently ending the world, so there won't be anywhere for that civilization to be.

Dont say space.²

If you want a future, kill your masters.

If you want to kill yourself and everyone else, get yourself some weed and eggs Benedict, and just keep doing what you're doing¹.

¹assuming you're not spectacularly cool. If you're spectacularly cool a change in behavior may be required.

²Nobody who says that has ever allowed a serious expert into the same room as them. It may not be theoretically possible, we certainly aren't within a century of unsupported space settlement. We haven't even sent a person out of orbit yet.

    Agree with your sentiment internet friend, but might want to drop that last sentence. We, uh, did go to the moon, right? Right?

    Moon orbits what? Doesn't count as leaving. Might be technically out, but kind of only supports my point.

    Also I don't think we still have capacity to do that as a species, but am not sure where the Chinese space program is focused on so can't say for sure.

    Ok then we have different definitions of "orbit" and "leaving."

    I'm saying it might technically be outside earth's orbit, but it is orbiting earth pretty close. So maybe technically but having to reach for a 'technically' supports my point.

    And also I dont think we could get a person to the moon and back right now.
