He itemized but a few, like nuclear war, catastrophic global warming and genetically engineered viruses.
"However, we will not establish self-sustaining colonies in space for at least the next hundred years, so we have to be very careful in this period," he joked, provoking laughter from the audience.
"We are not going to stop making progress, or reverse it, so we have to recognize the dangers and control them. Im an optimist, and I believe we can,"he further explained.
