Well, let's see:
Every person has adequate nutrition. Given that 50% of the children on the planet don't, let's say 100 years.
Every person gets an education. Another 100 years.
Population growth levels off (and not by war, famine, disease, disaster, etc): Probably 500 years
Species / Forest / Ocean destruction stops. Hmmm....let's say 250 years, because nature will probably remove most of us cockroaches by then as most ecosystems completely collapse.
So, at least 5 millenium.

All the more reason we need to look for a new planet to destroy occupy.

Mars is only 38% the gravity on Earth. If your bathroom scales read 100 Kg on Earth (mine used to ...a long, long time ago in a far off galaxy.. but I digress), it would only read 38 Kg on Mars.
It may be possible to create artificial wings and fly using human muscle power only - I would go in a heartbeat.
Plus, being on the heavy side myself, everything would be more comfortable, walking, sleeping, sitting, flying!!!!! yeah!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

1. Pesonally, i na heartbeat - except I have a wife and child - so I need to think of them too. I couldn't leave The Boy(TM) behind - but I'd need to know much more before I contemplated taking him! Mrs. Maxxx would probably buy me the ticket (that's a joke, dear, in case you read this!)
