Once upon a time, Picasso was sitting at a bar and whiling his time away. A star-struck fan spotted him and approached him with a request—could he make a quick sketch on a paper napkin?

Stephen hawking has hawkish view on humanity. We have just 100 yrs and man should move to another planet. His hawkish view may not be that right but no one would disagree that humanity has definite end date. The threat is real.
