In the twenty-second century, humankind established contact with alien civilizations. Average humans saw little change. Earth bumbled on alone and hardly anyone saw true extraterrestrials.
Our galactic neighbors had no interest in our minerals, no interest in settling here or anything else for that matter. In the vastness of space, Planet Earth was not unique. It was one of untellable millions. It was a sad realization that our Solar System, sitting in the backwoods of the galaxy, was of little to no value or consequence to anyone.
Ultimately, it would not be aliens coming to us — rather, the other way around.
A few of us did make it out there. I was one of them.
