The sun's distant future

What a dark thought. We have billions of years, or atleast 1 to figure out a way to either perserver Earth or control our Sun. While I believe this not to be impossible, you probably wont see this until a lot about the human race becomes different. While we could just move from planet to planet while the sun gets bigger as a way to survive we could also in that time colonize much more than just our solar system, which we would no doubt always call our true home. We are in the tails of our galaxy the collosion with the andromeda wouldn't really affect us to much, though it would bring much more life to our galaxy.
 
I'm not optimistic enough to think that this will even be an issue for the human race. Maybe the second evolution of sentient telepathic dinosaur elves will have better luck a few billion years from now.
 
Even humans are different. Some are more older than others. You could see something like the Enterprise series where a new human population eventually evolves and we die off. Of course with the damage we have caused to this planet I have a hard time believing unless it changes soon that Earth could sustain another race of humans.
