its just a mans drive for science and exploration. it wont happen in a thousand years. and our sun has still 1 billion years before it turns into supernova. which means pag sumabog sakop buong solar system natin. this is a first step, lets study the planet. maybe in years time we'll have bases in the Moon or Mars. technology continues to excell. maybe the future people can save themselves from the future demise of the human civilization. by migrating to other planets.
