Should we A) colonise other planets or B) build habitats in the middle of space, like O'Neill Cylinders and stuff?

youre still not thinking astronomically. you need to think bigger. i like to at least pretend out technology advances.

I was kind of surprised that comet that’s been visible at night was only discovered like a year ago. Crazy to think that would be the warning time of anything coming to hit us

There are black holes that travel at the speed of light. If one were to pass through our astronomical neighborhood we would never see it coming and it would end our existence so instantaneously that it would be like our species and planet never existed.

As long as it’s instant then it’s not that bad I guess
