In the front part of the book, I have a brief overview of the comparative histories of the Earth and the moon.
And so I have a picture of the moon, of what's going on on the surface of the moon, and a picture of what was going on on Earth.
I just used AI to create these images, but they're roughly to the time periods.
and as you progress along somewhere about the end of the late heavy bombardment like a long time ago from that forward i use the same image to represent the moon because nothing has really changed on the moon yet the earth is still like going through dinosaur eras and and then eventually very at the end you know everybody always knows this one it's like there's like rocket taking off and there's like humanity and it's just like at the very end matter of fact 75,000 or 750,000 back to back human civilization time periods And we think, you know, we look at everything like, well, we're aware of everything.
I mean, this is kind of a fun way to put it, that we're sitting around having Dino burgers for a million years and left.
As we're becoming more and more technologically advanced, we're seeing the reality that it's likely that it's smart to have recyclable goods.
Our footprint, our future footprint, after we've mulled over all the mid-century homes that aren't museums, what would be left over on our planet if our species kept evolving? Technologically speaking, everything would get reused.
I mean, arguably what happened, right? I mean, if if there was a cataclysm and people were roaming around looking for a place to set up shop, you're not going to try to build it all yourself.
You're going to go to stuff that's already been built and start, you know, start setting up shop.
But, you know, you did mention a dino burger and I'm thinking about going to eat one of those myself.
