"The Long Now Foundation, established in 01996
[that is 1996 of a 10,000 year calender]
develops the Clock and Library projects,
as well as to become the seed of a
very long-term cultural institution.
The Long Now Foundation hopes to
creatively foster responsibility
in the framework of the next 10,000 years."

an example book from Manual for Civilization:
Marshall T. Savage`The Millennial Project:
Colonizing the Galaxy in Eight Easy Steps
--. for similar material see
"The Living Universe Foundation":
the foundation's purpose is to ensure
"the eternal prosperity of life";
that includes eternal survival:
"Our solar system will last for billions of years.
That is a very long time, but it is not forever.
The goal of the Living Universe Foundation
is the assured survival of life.
To achieve this, humanity must spread to
other star systems."

similarly concerned with star travel:

Paul Gilster`Centauri Dreams:
Imagining and Planning Interstellar Exploration

M. Millis, E. Davis`Frontiers of Propulsion Science
(Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics)
-- by the Tau Zero Foundation founder
and NASA's leading expert on
Breakthrough Propulsion Physics

we will hear about this only after Fall 2016
when the global government secures the planet
and can fully supervise the use of super tech .
