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
