  Neither space colonization nor solving Earth’s environmental crisis happened.

  A team of scientists, desperate to save Earth’s legacy, launched a time capsule into deep space.

  Besides storing all known knowledge, the time capsule included biosamples and genetic code, with mathematical instructions for the rebirth of humankind and other lifeforms.

  Several millennia later …

  An alien salvage crew discovered the time capsule.

  “What’s in it?”

  “Looks like a time capsule, sir.”

  “Alright, but anything useful?”

  “Yes, sir, it’s equipped with solar sails and a star map to its home coordinates.”

  “Oh, that’s profit! Inform the fleet!”
