Very interesting, good thing I don't have to worry about the 5 billion year mark.

Whoever said the cockroaches would die after a couple of winters has got to be wrong. I don't think anything can kill those bastards except for stepping on them...and even that isn't a guarantee.

Too bad the Earth won't get a chance to outlive us.

Yah thats pretty cool... I keep trying to picture it.. In the grand scheme of things makes me feel that we are really just petty little ants.

Sure it will. We are gonna nuke ourselves or fuck up the environment so bad life will become extinct.

The Earth will repair itself once the human race is off of it.

Discovery ran the film based on his book. It was pretty fuckin' great.

They went through a very detailed progression of what would happen in the years to come. The projected destruction of our civilization and how nature would remove our existance wouldn't take nearly as long as it took us to make it. It was damn illuminating and pretty cool to watch structures collapse from lack of maintenance.
