....has anyone considered that if we don't colonise other planets or systems, then the very last relics of humanity will probably be the Voyager probes, the Apollo landers, and a small red sports car with a space suited mannequin orbiting the sun until it goes nova.
It'll be quite a puzzle for some astronomer archaeologist in 10 million years.

sorry
BUT WE CAN'T GO NOVA
as that requires two stars one a white dwarf very close to each other
a super nova is out also as the sun is too small
red giant is the best our future offers
and that may not reach the car as it missed mars and will be out near ceres
about the middle of the asteroid belt
