Radiation could make them sterile - maybe like in 'Interstellar' they would need to bring a supply of sperm and eggs kept in lead-lined cryogenics.

Helsing posted:Frankly I find the concept of a bug that thinks offensive. Bugs do think, though? If humans ever became spaceborne we would become socialized like bees. That's part of the incisiveness of Independence Day that I hope is brought into the sequel - the aliens are mac-using technolocusts.

Helsing posted:Insects with intelligence? Have you ever met one? I can't believe I am here this none-sense. They build. They have society and do things with purpose. Each individual has a brain (albeit a tiny one compared to you). If humans became interplanetary or interstellar wouldn't we be like a fractal continuation of earth life. We would likely bring plants and maybe well domesticated animals with us. We'll unintentionally bring bacteria and insects everywhere.

My Linux Rig posted:Not if we become beings of pure energy. I doubt that will happen anytime soon (or colonization for that matter) - it all comes from Arthur Clarke's ideas in '2001 A Space Odyssey'. Electronics and a photocopied brain is a neat thought experiment but at present its just as real as the 1950's brain in a jar. Humans need to be worthy and responsible for perpetuating life into the universe. When everyone is white no-one will be.

A new species of Human could be genetically engineered to live in zero gravity one day - their feet would be more useful as hands and they could use farts for propulsion.
