Since I think that mankind's destiny transcends the destiny of
the solar system, the sun's end may not mean the extinction of
mankind.
Destiny is a little fatalistic for my tastes :-) But logic would seem
to dictate that if human civilization survives even 50% of the time
remaining before the Sun becomes a problem then the technology to live
elsewhere, or even repair the Sun (we are after all a nostalgic bunch)
should be available :-)
