Here's a couple funny lighthearted videos about the death and
destruction of our home planet.

Lets build a ship to run away to another habitable planet. Wait, we
haven't found one yet. Oh Well...

Besides even if we did find a habitable planet, it would take thousands
of years (using current technology) to get there, and that's if we had a
ship that could make it.

Generation ship anyone?
