        Don’t be too modest, we will take countless species with us. Some are already relegated to museams due to nothing but human interference. Yes the giant rock will persist but we will disturb enough life to seriously jeopardize the future of many if not most forms of life.

          Maybe our bones will create a new layer in the Earth that’ll be covered over and the earths ecosystem will degenerate and eventually recreate itself billions of years later, leaving a future race of newly evolved, curious species to crawl out of the ensuing muck to find in us a great energy source trapped underground and drill it to the surface for use.

            Unironically probably something like that. Nature will take what we give it and keep going best it can, the ashes of the old world will fertilize the new one, and it wouldn’t be the first time nature on this planet has done something like that.

      There’s no saving our species, but evidently there’s no reason to. I just hope we go before we can take much more down with us.
