Last March 14 marked 6 years since the death of scientist Stephen Hawking, a pioneer in the field of the study of the universe and dark matter, and above all a faithful believer in the possibility of the human race of repopulating other planets to avoid its extinction.
For example, among his last predictions before his death is that in a century, with the help of artificial intelligence and human capacity, colonies will have been established so that people can live outside planet Earth.
Now, several years may have passed since he left the earthly world, but his predictions and contributions to the study of the universe are still valid.

One of the questions asked by many technological experts, scientists and the general population, Stephen Hawking gave his opinion while he was alive. At various points in his life he analyzed and was aware of the threats that humanity was experiencing, but he believed that the exploration of other directions outside of Earth was the main objective.
That is why he emphasized several pieces of advice for future generations in which he highlighted the need to continue working on the study of the universe and continue discovering the designs it holds.
He pointed out that there is no feeling more immense than experiencing something he called Eureka, when you discover for the first time something that no one knew regarding.

The proposal for the colonization of other planets, as proposed by Hawking, is not far from being viable, because in current space explorations, Mars is the most cited objective, which highlights the ambition of the technological world to create a “plane B ” for humanity in space.
This trend, far from being mere speculation, has gained relevance with the figures of Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, Jeff Bezos, President of Amazon and Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, leading projects to explore the vast universe.
For its part, investment in technologies for commercial space travel, led by companies such as SpaceX and Blue Origin, illustrates the ambition to make these feats accessible, not only as scientific achievements but also as possible answers to the search for housing alternatives outside of space. the earth.

In a current time in which environmental, health and geopolitical challenges are intertwined, forming a scenario of global uncertainty, the premonitions made by the scientist are not ruled out.
The economic and technological elites have already begun to explore alternatives to mitigate the risks associated with possible global cataclysms.
For example, the construction of bunkers in perceived safe destinations, such as New Zealand, manifests a refuge strategy on an earthly scale.
This interest has increased significantly, driving a market for underground constructions intended to offer protection once morest various catastrophes, from nuclear conflicts to extreme natural disasters.

The projects of these billionaires, while emblematic of a human impulse to overcome limits in every sense, also pose a dilemma as to whether they can be taken to the collective level.
Given this, investment in solutions to prevent the extinction of humanity in the face of global catastrophes directly challenges the principles of equity and universal solidarity.
This approach reinforces the idea of collectively facing the challenges of the current and coming era, promoting instead a logic of individual and selective safeguarding.
For this reason, the predictions that Stephen Hawking made in the fields of science and technology are fundamental, especially in contexts that hold the future.
