      We won't be around Earth in five billion years, because we will all be living on Planet Starbucks, a subsidiary of the GE Universe.

        I think that, at this stage, it's pretty hit-and miss.

        We need to set up some way to get stuff into orbit for relatively cheap first.

          That's easy. Reduce the gravitational pull of the Earth.

              I am sure there will be a planet Apple very devoted to its visionary founder. Pleasant for a holiday visit, but a bit too tyrannical rules for long term stay.

                Is this a case where billion means something different to you Brits than normal people? Billion as in 10^9, right? If so, no, of course humans won't be around in that incredibly long time-frame. Life evolved from single cellular organisms to complex animals in a fraction of that time. How much do you think we will have changed?

                  Well the Milky Way will for sure be around in 5bn years, why shouldn't we?

                    As humans? The same species? Impossible. 5 million years is probably impossible as well.

                      While it's true that you yanks call a thousand million a 'billion', I'm guessing that that's the acceptance being used here.

                        There is, approximately, a 0% chance there will be homo sapiens in 5 billion years.

                          Guy is right. In 5 billion years, the superior genes of the homo homoerectus will dominate. All reproduction would be performed using SCIENCE to produce genetically perfect homosexuals. The world would be a happy, happy place.
