The renowned University of Cambridge physicist has previously spoken in favour of colonising space as an insurance policy against the possibility of humanity being wiped out by catastrophes like nuclear war and climate change.

What a joke. As if the moon would be safe from climate change or an asteroid.

I have this image in my head...

accompanied by Joan Baez, singing

In the Year 2525....

As if the moon would be safe from climate change

Having had pretty much the same hot and extremely dry climate for the past almost 4 Billion years, it's a pretty safe bet the Moon is in little risk of climate "change," which is a redundancy regardless since "change" is a part of climate. Asteroids? As safe as Earth, underground.

What cruel is that Richard Branson plans on risking this mans's life in a suborbital ride... and performing a marriage on that first flight, too.

Oh, I think the moon is totally safe from “climate” change, considering it doesn’t have one. Asteroids, however, are a point well made.
