Hawkings: If we survive next 200 years we should be safe!

Professor Stephen Hawking, holder of 12 honorary degrees and Lucasian Professor at Cambridge University's Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. He says that if humans start to look to space for new permanent home's we should be OK for the next 200 years. He says that it will be difficult to even survive the next 100 years. This I believe to be true because of all the new weapon technology world superpowers posses. For example, the military now employs robots to fight alongside the soldiers in combat zones. These robots are said to be more proficient killing machines then ever. Yet, robots are now being used to help wounded soldiers in the battlefield. Finally, there is now more nuclear weapons in all of the countries who can afford it and some countries are possible to use them. There is still hope Hawkings says. So long as we use wise judgement and learn more of space homes then we should survive. Hawkings is due to go on a space flight of his own in about a year.
