We may not get 5 billion years due to any number of unforseen events. We must take care of Mother Earth to preserve the resources we will need for as long as humankind will be here, and we need to figure out a way to spread to other planets. It seems farfetched now, but look at all the other unbeleivable changes in the last couple hundred years. Hawking is right - we have to see what we can do to ensure the survival of our species in the distant future. Hawking has the right vision.

Even if we solve the asteroid problem and the nucelar holocaust problem eventually our sun is going to become a red giant and swallow us. There are countless of threats that may kill off the entire human race. Colonising other planets minimizes the risk of our species going extinct. So while you may ridicule his notion of the future it is entirely necessary if we want to survive in the long run. Stephen Hawkings is entirely correct.

Aside from proposing the Idea, he actually details exactly how it will be achieved, and why it must be achieved. It's definitely an interesting read.
