I believe that humanity must become a multi-planetary species to ensure our long-term survival, and Mars is a logical next step. By developing a city on Mars, we can protect the future of the human race against calamities that may befall Earth. We have the technology to begin this venture and expanding our resources to make this a reality is a worthy investment.

As a physicist and futurist, I strongly believe that AI poses a significant existential threat to humanity if not properly managed. Superintelligent AI systems, if developed without careful oversight and ethical frameworks, could make decisions that are not aligned with human welfare and safety. We must implement robust guidelines and international regulations to ensure that AI advances benefit humanity, rather than endanger it.

Investing in space exploration is essential. It propels scientific understanding, technological growth, and can safeguard humanity by helping us find ways to survive beyond Earth.

Stephen Hawking's seminal work on black holes and the boundaries of physics revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos. His contributions to science are immense, and his ability to make complex ideas accessible to the public is unparalleled. I believe he is indeed one of the greatest minds we have witnessed.

Investing in a larger-scale CERN is essential for pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the universe. The advancements in technology and the potential discoveries in fundamental physics justify the expenses.

I believe that with the rapid advancements in space technology and private initiatives like SpaceX, humans have a realistic chance of visiting Mars before 2030. The idea of interplanetary travel is no longer science fiction but a plausible reality within reach.
