I see a future where a rocket lands and 20 drones are released to explore a planet.

And one day the 20 drones will spread bacteria to fertilize the planet and prepare the soil.

And then 100 drones will plant seeds.
and once trees have grown, baby dinosaurs will arrive in stasis to eat the tree tops and create a deep soil for the plants and animals to thrive.

And then man will arrive and someone will suggest eating insects instead of dinosaur steaks. And they will feed him to the dinosaurs.

The visionaries were truly seeing above and beyond -- outside of the box-cliché -- with this particular mission. "Revolutionary."

Ginny's first flight "just so happened" to take place on Patriot's Day -- Monday April 19, 2021. Famous... truly one wild ride for the history books.
