I have hope that some humans will survive this century

 I was watching an HBO series called: "Edge of the Earth". In the first episode snowboarders and a skier are trying to ski down a 10,000 foot peak in Alaska. However, they are not trying to do this by helicopter but rather from the sea and climbing up 10,000 feet to do this.

The next episode is about kayakers trying to kayak down an untamed river in Ecuador in South America.

As I watched all of the snowboarding one and part of the kayaking one I thought to myself that the preparation of both these expeditions is the kind of focus and preparation that people will need to survive this century and beyond here on earth.

It also made me think of Matt Damon in "The Martian(2015) when he is trying to grow potatoes on Mars until he finds a way home to earth. So, the Edge of the Earth reminds me of how hard it will be to survive the next few centuries on earth and also "The Martian(2015" also reminds me of how hard it's going to be to survive here on earth the next few centuries too.
