Hi, it's "uninterested." "Disinterested" means something else entirely.

Hey, good for you. Also, I enjoyed the article and agree with your views. In the long view, perhaps the longest view, for the DNA to survive, it will need to get off the planet, and out of the solar system. We know that in the biggest time frame both are doomed. It's very hard to remember that human history is only about 8000 years out of a geologic scale of 4.6 billion. Eight out of 575,000. Based on the Sun's expected burnout, we only have 7 billion years or so to figure it out. Since the Industrial Revolution is only about 250 years old, I bet we can do it.
