In all of human history, whenever another military invades a country and defeats them, it usually stems from the fact that they brought superior technology and civilization with them.

That is incorrect.

In fact, it makes me a bit annoyed when I read some DAR members who come out against Space exploration

I have no idea what you people see in space exploration.

I have no idea what you people see in space exploration.

Within a couple of hundreds of millions of years from now, the Sun will become so bright that it will boil the Earth, guaranteed to kill all complex life on Earth. In around 5 billion years, when the Sun will start to reach the end of its life cycle, it will massively grow in size and literally swallow the Earth.

So for people like me, reasons for supporting space exploration aren't just because "it's cool" or "I F*CKING LOVE SCIENCE!!", it's literally about survival. If you want the white race, or the human species as a whole, to survive long term (which I do), developing interstellar space travel, and the subsequent colonization of Earth-like exoplanets, will be an absolute necessity.

Alternatively, we could try to develop highly advanced technology to move the Earth further away from the Sun, and try to harness enough energy from the Sun (with a Dyson sphere or something similar) to be able to actually power this technology, but given how unfeasible this would be even compared to something like interstellar space travel, we're probably better off continuing to focus on developing more advanced and efficient space travel technology in the hope that it will eventually enable us to reach for the stars and spread our posterity all throughout the Galaxy.

To be more specific, its more like 600-1000 million years.

When considering how quickly humanity has advanced technologically in the past several centurys alone, it is difficult to imagine what they might achieve in several millenia. Especially when realising that the Earth will be ruled by superintelligent agents by then. Civilisation is only about 2500 years old, imagine what it might achieve after 10,000 years. Technologys such as Dyson spheres are utterly impossible with our current technology, but who knows what might happen in several millenia.

If a civilisation can build a Dyson sphere, then they can influence the evolution of their own home star. There is a hypothetical process called star lifting whereby a portion of a stars mass can be removed from its surface, which lessens the gravitational pressure on its core, which consequently reduces the amount of hydrogen the star must burn. Star lifting could extend the lifespan of a main sequence star far beyond what would normally be possible. It sounds insane, but it doesn't violate the laws of physics.

I highly doubt any of this would ever occur.
