The Future of Humanity.

~Have you ever considered life without this glorious planet? Or when Earth and all the life it contains will meet its end? There may be no one in the Business Industry who cares about all of this as of right now, but everything has to end at some point. We have the knowledge of creating backup plans in case if our first plan fails. And in terms of business, this is very important to ensure that corporations do not implode on themselves if tasks don't go accordingly. So what's the backup plan for humanity? Well then, I'm glad you asked, because there is more than one answer:

Mars, the bloody red planet. It's been rusting in cosmic silence ever since life abandoned this cold sphere. Yet it's the closest and by far the most popular host for mankind. They've been spying on his planet ever since they thought that life used to thrive on this planet. They've sent a lot of probes here to study its geography, but most of the probes have failed to even stick a landing. However, the probes that did manage to survive on Mars for a while sent back amazing data. Scientists have proposed to launch a [one way] manned mission to Mars in as little as 10 years! Of course, they will establish permanent residence there for them to live in. =)

Europa. No, it's not Europe in Italian; it's actually one of Jupiter's moons. As well, this amazing satellite appears to be made out of...ice? Europa is the smallest of Jupiter's 4 Galilean moons, and it has an atmosphere composed of mainly oxygen. It is believed that underneath this ice lies a vast ocean of water, where living entities may exist. In late 2008, it was hypothesized that Jupiter is the main cause of keeping the water unfrozen. Although Europa does contain tons of water, it is slowly losing it through periodic geysers of water vapour. We better save it fast!

Titan. As blurry as the picture may seem, it's not made up. This is the best view they could ever get from basically the Earth in deep freeze. That's right, what seems to be liquid water on this moon of Saturn are actually hydrocarbons, something that we need for our everyday transportation. But of course, there still is water ice on the surface of Titan. Anyways, the yellow-orange haze you see is made up of methane and ethane clouds, and the smog you see is nitrogen-rich! Any lifeform that exists on Titan would be chemically structured to survive on hydrogen instead of oxygen, and exhale methane instead of carbon dioxide! It's an awesome place to explore! =D

~Now, do you see how much potential we have in making our existence eternal? Mankind has the ability to live on for billions of years to come, and we've only scratched the surface. Astronomers have discovered habitable places outside of our solar system hundreds of light years away! They are called exoplanets, and they are the jewels within the universe! They've found exoplanets that are far larger than Jupiter (and closer to their stars as well), they've found exoplanets made out of Diamonds, and they've even found planets that resemble the characteristics of planet Earth! This is definitely something that I think business companies should invest their money in, because of the limitless possibilities. It pays off really well in the long-term if invested properly, and it also makes a contribution to the development of science!
