At 70, Stephen Hawking Wants Space Colonization

(AP)  
CAMBRIDGE, England - Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking was too ill to attend a conference in honor of his 70th birthday Sunday, but in a recorded message played to attendees he repeated his call for humans to colonize other worlds.
University of Cambridge Vice Chancellor Leszek Borysiewicz told the conference that Hawking, who is almost completely paralyzed because of Lou Gehrig's disease, had only recently been discharged from the hospital for an unspecified ailment.
"Unfortunately his recovery has not been fast enough for him to be able to be here," Borysiewicz said.

Refreshing to see a dumb redneck questioning one of the most brillian scientific minds.

Humans are the scourge of the universe.Our irreversable destruction of the Earth has caused our manned space exploration priviledges to be revoked.Any enlightened person can see that the door was slammed shut after the late 60's lunar missions.Hawkings is a genius,but he is not a realist.Humans are a cancer that must be isolated.

This man is the smartest man on the planet and you have the nerve to mock him.

News flash. Even though he is handicapped, just know this. You are nothing in this world compared to him, even in his wheelchair.
