Although September 11 was horrible, it didn’t threaten the survival of the human race, like nuclear weapons do. … I don’t think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet. But I’m an optimist. We will reach out to the stars.
- - Stephen Hawking, October 16, 2001.
In the Daily Telegraph interview “Colonies in space may be only hope, says Hawking” by Roger Highfield.
