    From what I understand, its roughly 5 billion.
    Whatever the number, is pretty high up there.
    If we haven’t all killed ourselves by then, I’m sure we will find some way to leave the solar system. 5 billion years is a pretty good length of time to figure it out.

    i heard it was something like only 4 billion? or was it 40 billion, but by then, the world would have probably killed itself already ^^ no worries.
