Once the baby-boomers pass on, and given the general decline in reproduction worldwide, increased numbers of singles etc etc, the demands on resources may decline, at least until the next boom.
At this stage space travel and colonisation is an exciting prospect, none-the-less technologically impractical. Stephen Hawking may be brilliant, but I think it's a mistake to assume that prominence validates opinion.
Sorry if that offends, but there are more important issues than finding ways to escape mortality. If one was to expire tomorrow, Stephen Hawking's assertion would be completely irrelevant.
