Sadly it is still only a stop-gap measure. The sun is for all intents and purposes, dying a slow death.

We'll have colonized the galaxy in 10 million years. In 200 million years, I'd expect that some future historical society could undertake a project to clean out the heavy elements in the Sun to keep it going.

Yeah, but if humans exist by the time the sun fails us, they wouldn’t really be the same species as us, and they’d hopefully have progressed to the point that they could escape the Earth.

You're saying we wont maintain tradition and our "humanity"?. I like to be a little more optimistic and believe in us as a species transferring values until the end.

Long before death it will expand to or almost to Earth's orbit. I doubt humanity could isolate Earth from that.

[meindnoch]

Sure, but it may keep Earth habitable for an extra billion years.

Unfortunately it looks like we are more in the track to human inhabitable earth :(

Sure, and entropy will end us all one way or another
