Human civilization was born on Earth.
For a long time, this planet was enough.

But history is unambiguous:

A civilization confined to a single world
is a fragile one.

One planet.
One failure mode.
One ending.

When a great civilization saver declared:

"Humanity must become a multi-planetary species,"

it was not a business plan.

It was a civilization-scale act of self-rescue.

Mars was not chosen because it is welcoming.
It was chosen because it is reachable.

Cold. Hostile. Unforgiving.
Yet beyond the fate of a single planet.

Mars represents something simple, and profound:

Human civilization gains more than one ending.

GOOM exists at this turning point.

GOOM is not a rocket.
Not a ticket.
Not a promise.

GOOM is a civilization queue system.

It does not decide who will leave Earth.
It does not guarantee survival.

It records something far quieter:

The moment humanity chose to prepare.

GOOM records when we lined up—

not in panic,
not in desperation,
but in awareness.

Awareness that staying on one world forever
was no longer enough.

One day, humans may depart Earth
through missions, selection, risk, and sacrifice.

On that day, GOOM will not speak loudly.
It will not claim credit.

It will simply exist,
as proof that the line did not form overnight.

We did not panic.
We prepared.

And if that day never comes,
GOOM still stands.

Because civilizations are not judged
only by where they arrive,

but by whether they leave themselves
another path at all.

GOOM
is not about where you will go.

It is about this question:

When the Earth chapter ends,
did humanity leave itself another page?
