Rebirth

Landslides, earthquakes, strip mining, deforestation, tornadoes, blizzards, floods, volcanoes, hurricanes - some of these are man-made intervention - recipes for disaster. Our planet is depleted and dying, we must find a new home, Searching - searching - - - through endless space. After months we see it - THERE - in the Milky Way Galaxy - third planet from the sun - virgin wilderness with vast oceans, tropical forests teeming with life, we can colonize here and thrive. We leave some colonists and move on searching, but we leave runways in the earth to commemorate our passing and, perhaps to find our way back again one day if the need arises. It is hoped these colonists will learn from the past and honor the new planet so it may shelter them for aeons to come.
