What If You Were the Only Mind in the Universe?

Congratulations. You are the only mind in the entire universe. Hundreds of billions of galaxies, more stars than grains of sand on Earth, and the only thing that has ever had a thought is you. A night intern at the biggest radio telescope on Earth finds out we are completely alone. Then a black comet the size of the dinosaur killer shows up. One ship, four seats, eight billion people, and you pick who goes to Mars. Which three did you pick? Tell me in the comments. Lily would want to know. Real facts in this video: the Fermi Paradox, the Drake Equation, the 1977 Wow! signal, Voyager 1's 2023 glitch, the Great Filter, the 26-month Earth–Mars launch window, comet 67P (it would float in a bathtub), blue sunsets on Mars, and the 2015 Parkes Observatory "signal" that turned out to be a microwave.
