Paul Johnson Quotes

I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.

I believe that the only way that the human race is gonna survive is to start colonizing space and setting up colonies on the moon, and then space stations.

I think the human race doesn't have a future if we don't go into space. We need to expand our horizons beyond planet Earth if we are to have a long-term future.

We need to spread out now in the universe. I think in 100 years we'll be living on other planets.

I believe, I truly believe, that humans will be living off of this planet, at some point in the future. It's inevitable for us, and it seems like a reasonable and realistic progression for us as a human race. We won't last on this planet - not forever.

It's very exciting that people could actually live on another planet.

I think the human race doesn't have a future if it doesn't go into space.

If our species is to survive, our future will probably require outposts beyond our own planet.

Earth is the nest, the cradle, and we'll move out of it.

I think that the future of the human race is to spread through the universe, and now is the time that we should be laying the foundations for that.

It's not going to be just humans colonizing space, it's going to be life moving out from the Earth, moving it into its kingdom. And the kingdom of life, of course, is going to be the universe.

Some day we'll move into space and start ensuring the survival of our species beyond Earth, whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand.

It's important that we attempt to extend life beyond Earth now. It is the first time in the four billion-year history of Earth that it's been possible, and that window could be open for a long time - hopefully it is - or it could be open for a short time. We should err on the side of caution and do something now.

There's so much interest and curiosity about alien life, interstellar travel. It's always in the news.

Why would you need to expand beyond the solar system if you already have access to all the information you need, and you've essentially insulated yourself against a planetary apocalypse? Maybe that's enough.

Once we become a multiplanet species, our chances to live long and prosper will take a huge leap skyward.

Planet colonization is not a short term concern of mine. The physical limitations of space travel render it low on the list for me.

We need to move off the planet. And Mars is the next best place.

So we say, oh, my goodness; we think we've found another Earth-like planet. We will start trying to figure out how to get there. And I have this strong belief that whatever we think we can do, whatever we can dream, we can do.

I think it's inevitable that there will be Earthlings establishing a presence on Mars. And I would say that it would certainly take place by 2050 or shortly thereafter.

We should be ready to reach out beyond our planet and beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there.

Of course, it's a dream to go to Mars. I want to find out whether there was life there or not. And if there was, then why did it die out? What sort of catastrophe happened?

Going to Mars would evolve humankind into a two-planet species.

The leader of an Earth organization who makes a commitment to history - of humans living on Earth, to begin permanent settlement/occupation of not the moon, but of another planet - this leader will have a legacy for history that will supersede Columbus, Genghis Khan or almost any recognized leader.

I firmly believe in what Stephen Hawking says - that if we don't get off this planet, we're going to go berserk. We have to have more space.
