It could be sooner than you think if nukes start flying around Europe and the Mideast.

Man... 900 years, that's too soon for me to die!

If anything from space is going to kill us all, it will most likely be all the orbital space junk that's gonna blow up the international space station and cause our planet to be blanketed in orbiting pieces of space stations, shuttles, and satellites.

Whew, huge you had me worried...

With all of the junk we have floating up there now, we may not be able to get into space in 900 years. At the current rate of 'pollution', we'll have effectively 'paved' NEO space.

In 900 years, we'll have developed phasers and quantum torpedoes, and we'll be able to evaporate it.

In all seriousness though, the amount of pollution in space is really alarming, considering it was only ~40 years ago that we first set foot in space (iirc).

Speaking of which...

Huge, these are fun and all but could you start finding stories about us getting rich & not having to work stories that don't involve illegal activities or the lottery. I hate working for a living
