Event description
What if the world were to end? What if humans rained down so much destruction on our planet that everything we find beautiful was destroyed? What would we wish to remember? The more we desecrate our home, the more our minds are drawn to space and the refuge it could provide. Outer space is endlessly fascinating. It is beautiful and mysterious and strangely alluring. Yet Earth is home. If our forests were demolished and our seas poisoned, our skies polluted and the animals extinguished, what remnants would be taken with us on our escape to the stars? Perhaps memories of a once breathtaking world. Treasures collected from a time long past. Reminders, wonderings, and warnings of who we are and who we might be. Sought after answers…and guides to the beyond. Relics the last person on Earth would gather together having finally given up on a broken planet.
