Elon Musk: History will bifurcate in two directions. "There are really two fundamental paths. History is going to bifurcate along two directions. One path is we stay on Earth forever.

I think many underestimate and forget just how fragile civilization really is, the current state of affairs on earth right now has helped remind us of this and the importance of pursuing path number two.

@elon_alerts Elon, We are with you on the second path to become multiplanet species. Thats the correct path when the correct answer is 🫶

ELON: A MULTIPLANET FUTURE IS WHAT WE WANT! “I think there are really two fundamental paths. History is going to bifurcate along two directions. One path is we stay on Earth forever, and then there will be some eventual extinction event. I don't have an immediate doomsday prophecy, but eventually history suggests there will be some doomsday event. The alternative is to become a space-faring civilization and a multiplanet species, which I hope you would agree that is the right way to go. That's what we want.” Source: Presentation at the International Astronautical Federation, September 2016

Elon Musk: Do we want to be in many worlds, or forever confined to Earth? “There are so many things to worry about, so many things to be concerned about. There are many troubles in the world, of course, and these are important, and we need to solve them. But we also need things that make us excited to be alive, that make us glad to wake up in the morning and be fired up about the future and think the future is going to be great. Space exploration is one of those things. Becoming a space-faring civilization, being out there among the stars, this is one of the things that I know makes me glad to be alive. I think it makes many people glad to be alive. It's one of the best things. Really, we're faced with a choice: Which future do you want? Do you want a future where we become a space-faring civilization and are in many worlds and are out there among the stars, or one where we are forever confined to Earth? I say it is the first. And I hope you agree with me.” Starship Update, September 2019

Elon Musk: We should pass the Great Filters, or eventually we will disappear. “It's worth reading about the Fermi paradox, because people have thought very hard about this. One of the things is maybe there are these Great Filters, and the civilizations don't pass these Filters. One of the Filters is do we become a multiplanet species or not? If we do not become a multiplanet species, then eventually, at some point, something will happen to the planet. Either it will be man-made, or it will be something natural, like a meteor, like whatever killed the dinosaurs, for example. And then, eventually, the Sun will actually expand and will destroy all life on Earth. So, if one cares about life on Earth at all, we should care about becoming a multiplanet species and eventually going out there and becoming a multistellar species and having many star systems. We want the exciting parts of science fiction to not be fiction forever. We want to make them real!” Rome, Italy, December 23, 2023

Elon Musk: There are grander things we should be considering than the pettiness of everyday life. “I'd say life on Mars is difficult, dangerous, so many people might die. It's just fundamentally, are we going to become a multiplanet species or not? Even if we're sure Earth would be fine forever, do you want to be here forever? I think we want to be a spacefaring civilization. It's not like let's escape to Mars. Do we have a spirit of adventure? Do we want to go out there and see the rest of the universe? Who do we want to find out what's out there? Maybe meet some alien civilizations? Do we want science fiction to not be fiction forever? And if so, we need to be a multiplanet species. That's the next step. And then we can go from there to being a multistellar species and get to other star systems. I disagree with the notion of rationalizing becoming a multiplanet species with advancements on Earth. It is good in and of itself. It is important that we do this because eventually there's something that will do us in. It might be in 100 years, it might be in a million years, but something will do us in. What it comes down to is do we want civilization to survive on Earth until eventually it is extinguished and all life is extinguished? Or do we want to get out there and understand the nature of reality. There are grander things that we should be considering than the pettiness of everyday life.” Jay Leno's Garage, September 21, 2022

ELON: WE MUST STRIVE TO EXTEND BEYOND EARTH Elon: “A future where we are a spacefaring civilization and out there among the stars, I think that's very exciting. That is a thing we want. Whereas if you knew we would not be a spacefaring civilization but forever confined to Earth, this would not be a good future. That would be very sad, I think.” Joe Rogan: “Is it sad that we never leave because in 500 million years, the sun is going to boil the oceans?” Elon: “No, I just think if there are two futures and one future is we're out there among the stars and the things we read about and see in science fiction movies, the good ones, are true. We have these starships and we're going to see what other planets are like. We're a multiplanet species, and the scope and scale of consciousness is expanded across many civilizations and many planets and many star systems. This is a great future. This is a wonderful thing to me and that's what we should strive for.” Source: Elon Musk on The Joe Rogan Experience Joe Rogan, September 2018

ELON MUSK: "If you think really long-term, then you realize that eventually there will be some natural disaster, even if it is not made by humans, that destroys all life on Earth.

The only way to prolong life is to become multiplanetary and ultimately multistellar. And if we do not do that, all life on Earth will die."

$Elon Musk: Consciousness is rare and fleeting. We must become multiplanetary to protect it. “The Universe is about 13.8 billion years old. Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. If you consider that civilization has only been around for a little over 5,000 years, all of human civilization is basically the blink of an eye. It's just a fraction, it's nothing. That probably means that consciousness is incredibly rare and perhaps fleeting. It may not last for very long because otherwise I think we would have seen aliens, some kind of sign of aliens. I think the most likely explanation is that consciousness is rare. Does that consciousness actually extend to another planet? Does that consciousness extend to another star system? Ultimately, if we're able to become a space-faring civilization, a multiplanet species, and ultimately a multistellar species, and go out there and explore all these star systems, I think we may find that there are many long-dead one-planet civilizations. We don't want to be one of those lame one-planet civilizations. We want to be a multiplanet civilization, ultimately a multistellar civilization, be out there among the stars. That's why I think that there's this high urgency to making life multiplanetary.” SpaceX Update, April 4, 2024$

I guess we have to keep posting. We may not be able to stop Israel and the United States from exterminating all the Palestinians, but at least for now, it will be the most documented Holocaust in the history of mankind. And there is the hope that one day there will be justice.
