In Five Billion Years when the Sun goes Red Giant
I bet that when the Sun goes red giant it will not harm Earth at all. As the Sun loses mass the orbit of Earth will slowly spiral further away from the Sun and we will be safe. No need to migrate to the Cosmos. But the dark huge red Sun will look cool!

A ton of feathers falling on you will kill you just as dead as being hit by a ton of iron But it's surface will be closer, so the pull will be greater. And as it begins to shed the outside layers, that superheated plasma will cook everything it passes .. However I'm not worried. I have months of food in storage |

I have months of food in storage The Sun is always losing mass as it uses up its fuel supply. Earth has not noticed it yet because the Sun has not yet lost enough mass to overcome its binding to the dark matter groove holding it to its orbit. Just wait you will see. We will all be safe. |

Consult the very good resources on this.
To put things in perspective, 5 billion is 5,000 million, and each million is 1,000 millennia ! So 5 billion is 5 million millennia ! Only a measly 2 millennia will take you all the way back to the start of the Roman empire. So 5 billion is 2500 times that ! Suggest you don't hold your breath. |

This will coincide approximately with the same time that Andromeda collides with us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnYCpQyRp-4 As you say, "It will look cool!" Enjoy! |

I am just talking the way the enthusiastic scientists are talking. They are already making plans on how we are going to migrate to the stars five billion years from now. Seems they don't think we are going to die! |

Aw crap,....do you mean I stocked up on food for nothing ? |

With the firm limitation of light speed, with actual space travel far
slower by factors of tens of thousands, we won't be migrating anywhere outside the solar system, at all, ever ! |
