You think we'll end back in the trees?
I suppose there is a non zero chance of that.

I'll put my money on a space-faring/planetary/stellar civilisation though. Just to be clear...

There is a very big difference between choosing to follow a certain path and claiming that same path is your destiny...

While I agree that it's more than likely we will continue to advance our space technologies, I don't agree that it's our destiny to do so.
