I hope the sun is a low mass star because if it isnt it can become a black hole and suck us all up but it si possible that the sun will get to that stage in like 4.6 billion years.

4.6 billion years is quite a long time right now, I dont think ull have any problem having
worry about the sun black-holing any time soon. As for when it does actually does come,
by then im sure there will be someway or another to get off earth and off to another
hospitible planet. and judging the rate of technology expansion from 100,000 years ago
to now, im sure it will not be the first time that man will have reached another hospitible
planet.

any planet that mankind can find in the next 4.6 billion years that eigther(sp) has
an ample renewable supply of oxygen, or is able to be lived on with pressurised
buildings. remember, 4.6 billion years is a veeeeeerrrrrrryyyyyy long time. im
sure when the year 4,600,002,005 ad rolls around we'll be a little more advanced
than we are now.

1) Our star (sol) is not a low mass star. It is actually in the top 10% of sizes of stars.
2) It will most likely become a black hole when it collapses, but besides that, Humanity will have either been wiped out by an alien race or will have spread accross half of the galaxy by then. So even if our planet (Terra) is destroyed, we will survive.
3) Our sun will supernova before it dies. When it does it will become so big it will consume mercury, Venus, Earth within itself anyways, so Terra won't be crushed by a black hole, rather it will be incinerated by Sol.

Well I don't have very many worries about our survival as a species after space travel becomes commonplace. I believe that the ability to spread to other planets and explore space wil secure our overall survival unless an alien presence decides to intervene.

I have complete belief in that. We cant put all our eggs in one basket, enough of the war stuff, divert all extra resources to space travel!

Anti-war are you? don't foget that pretty much every single bit of space travel has been derived from wars.
The original rockets we now use for space travel were invented in WWII, and used to get into space, and the space race between the Soviet Union and the US was directly related to the Cold War. After the space race finished there has been nearly no real effort put into space travel/exploration. In my honest opinion War pretty much breeds space travel.
Sure it's terrible that so many people lose family but War keeps us alive and prevents overpopulation. It also creates countless technologies. Even your computer your using to type on right now was originally created for war use.
