In reality, the environment of the Pioneer was actually superior to Ian's. The people of the shelter in that era were remnants of the Pre-Epoch civilization of Terra; they still remembered the glorious golden age, and each possessed the morals and insights of the age of unity... The most important point.
That is, they all knew the stars—and aspired to the stars.
If only the Pioneer had ten more years, perhaps today's Terra civilization would not be as it is now.
(It's just a pity there's no if)
Ian thought to himself. Regardless of the outcome, the Pioneer ultimately did not succeed in saving the Pre-Epoch civilization; he died, the Pre-Epoch civilization vanished, and many shelters became the prototypes of the current Tara Confederation.
