Under an unified government humanity might be able to colonize space, terraform other planets, and survive the death of earth. Still, going back to the story: If a domestic robot was able to &quot;outlive&quot; by hundreds of years the men who built it, what about truly advanced systems and repositories of knowledge? The human genetic code might very well be stored (as a matter of fact it is, and floating in space, a very retarded idea if I may say so) in systems with the ability to replicate it, so even extinction could be just a minor setback for the species."}
