Stephen Hawking, British astrophysicist, says the human race must expand into outer space in the coming century or face possible extinction. The renowned scientist said he fears mankind is in great danger and its future "must be in space" if it is to survive, The Daily Telegraph reported Sunday.
War, resource depletion and overpopulation threaten the existence of the human race as never before, he said, advocating colonizing space to continue human existence.
"Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain inward looking on planet Earth but to spread out into space," Hawking said.
