Dinosaur Extinction - Latest News!

Hot off the presses! Yes, it's been confirmed that the dinosaurs are extinct! Only 65 million years after the event, scientists have come to a consensus that an asteroid was to blame, slamming into Mexico at more than 20 times the speed of a bullet! This catastrophe also wiped out half of all species on Earth, but if it hadn't happened, Mankind wouldn't be here! This shows us two things that people today should heed; firstly that mass extinctions and climate change occur naturally...and the planet recovers; secondly, for all those who question Man's desire to go into space...this could happen to us and it is our prime duty to ensure the survival of our species and to do this we need another home (preferably several!) away from Earth and ultimately away from our solar system!
