Andrew:

"That being said, I find space exploration fascinating and exciting. Personally, I suspect we are creatures of the earth and will be unable to live comfortably and happily outside of the earth's atmosphere and biosphere. Perhaps we can carry essential elements of the biosphere with us, but it will take a very long time and be very expensive. I may be wrong, but there is no evidence to the contrary."

Father Terrence replies:

For the first time since life developed on this planet, a living organism will directly affect its own evolution. During the 21st and 22nd Centuries, Mankind will merge with its stepchild, the machine.

Cybernetic organisms -- Manchines, if you will -- will apdapt to space easily and move outward to the stars. Lifespans will increase exponentially and eventually be measured in tens of thousands of years.

Today's primitive humans will be thought of fondly at first, but eventually will be given as much thought as most humans give Mayflies.

Note: Football will be long forgotten.
