...Dr. Robert Smith said global warming may reach a point "where all of Earth's water will simply evaporate."

Moron.

#2 So we can be the illegal aliens on some other planet?

Nice idea, Hawking, but you gotta develop the hardware first and you're gonna have a tough time doing that when all of our money is being spent for ObamaCare, Medicare, welfare, SEIU pension funds, etc.

#5 There is also the cosmic radiation danger unless man creates a warp drive or cryogenic freezing technology.

Did he really say 'warp drive'? Guy's been watching too much Star Trek. Why not just say 'jumpgate'?

And if we ever do 'leave earth' it might be like the first fish leaving the Ocean - we may not want to return to living at the bottom of a gravity well.

#6 I saw a video of an old Dr. Who episode, involving the creator of the Daleks, Davros. Except they put in a segment of Hawking, using his language generation to deliver Davros' lines.

#7 Well, if presented as a way to get rid of the Tea Partyites, you might get some traction along side of SEIU and the UAW at the Treasury trough. The 21st Century approach to kicking the ungrateful wretches and trouble makers out who'll leave on their own accord reducing opposition.

#9 D *** NG IT, wehell, IIUC MMGW = POTUS DUBYA = SUN is causing young 14-year old future Celebs like KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN JENNER to mature years early, thus of course the Earth + OWG clearly must attack + invade Alpha Centauri.

Which is INTEHWESTING becuz, technically speaking, the original SIRIUS EVENT occurred during the POTUS JOHNSON Admin.

#10 See also NEWS KERALA > COLONIZE SPACE OR FACE EXTINCTION: STEPHEN HAWKING.

HUMANITY + GREEN ORION BIKINI BABES will be saved once NASA-JPL + DARPA formally adopt that Guy from Guam's designs for "JETSONIAN" FLYING CARS, etc.

#11 I know who the guy from Guam is...

Cerius, Lee, has NE JUAN seen Joe and STEVE N. HULKING in the same room?

TOGETHER!?
