[ WP ] You 're the lead researcher in the 4.5 billion year `` Earth Experiment '' . After returning from a short trip home you find that the experiment has ended in failure , and you must now report back on your final thoughts .

Honestly? I was n't sure. When I first made humans I made them to learn. To grow and discover things about themselves and E.A.R.T.H. Along the way I set up milestones. The first was the fossils. I figured if they could figure out what they might be then they could have the ability to create one. They did n't go down that route. They got as far as reassembling the skeletons but they never found the hidden DNA stores to rebuild them. Nevertheless I assumed that they would eventually figure it out. 
 
 The next test was space flight. I'll admit that they accomplished that quicker than I expected. I thought that they might achieve it around the new millennium but they succeeded in'69. That was a highlight. 
 
 The next and last test was going to be interstellar travel. Once they succeeded there they would have been truly independent beings. The first formed artificially. But now I'm having to scrap the project. 
 
 I do n't know what to say. It was supposed to be a tiny hurdle. The most insignificant of obstacles. Somehow they managed to turn that obstacle into a complete failure. I just did n't expect them to actually vote for him.
