In a new paper published in the journal Nature, Steven Holen and a team of
other paleontologists at San Diego Natural History Museum argue that bones
discovered in the 1990s in California are around 130,000 years old and
indicate that humans were present at the time.

Scientists have generally agreed that humans arrived in North America
around 20,000 years ago by crossing a land bridge from Asia in the area now
known as the Bering Strait. The new evidence may rewrite our species'
history.

The advancement of space technology was not inevitable and would only
happen if someone worked hard to make it a reality.

Globus sees small-scale tourism as the path to large-scale colonies,
starting with orbiting hotels much like the ones Bigelow Aerospace is
developing
. A
hotel is not a whole lot different from a settlement. It has to be
pressurized. It might want to recycle its air. It might want to rotate, he
says.

NASA's Dr. McKay points to Antarctica as precedent for tourists paying
thousands to visit an inhospitable place: Their demand and resources
enable an infrastructure that enables me to do research there. I love that
model. I see that model as applicable to the moon, to space, and maybe even
to Mars.
The big question

Floating cylinders and world-based colonies have at least one thing in
common: Both seem highly implausible.

But big thinking demands strong justification. Musk frames the enterprise
as a response to existential threats, but McKay questions the assertion
that space colonies are the obvious first line of defense, mentioning
arctic seed banks and massive underground bunkers as survival strategies
that might take priority.

Globus finds the existential argument convincing, but offers a second
motivation: a moral responsibility to spread life beyond Earth. No other
species is even remotely in a position to settle space.... Its our duty.
