      Why not? Maybe yes… with all new technologies that helps our lifes I would expect our species to stay on the Earth for quite a loooong time

      Yes, I think humanity will survive at least 500 years. The challenges would be pollution and avoiding nuclear accidents.

      Very difficult question to answer. 500 years is both a very long and a very short time. We could easily have wiped ourselves out with war or global warming in that time. Alternatively we could have sorted out our problems and have colonised other planets in the solar system, meaning even if something bad happens on Earth, everyone on the other planets will be fine. We’ll have to wait and see…
