    Of course. This will hold back humans getting off the planet for thousands of years. We got kind of close this round, will probably need another 3000-5000 years before the rock is left behind.

      good. Humanity should rot in this hellhole. Other solar systems are better off without us. My only worry is human-built machines spreading our way of thinking in our stead.

        I would hope by the time we get interstellar, we would have a different mindset. But you’re right. Knowing humans we would strip mine most planets and kill all life that gets in the way.

      If petroleum ends up functionally depleted and it cannot be extracted from our cycle’s detritus, it’s more likely to be millions of years. Likely we will never leave this rock again.
