A momentous year for the universe as the Earth is laid to rest. Even though it will depart as the sun burns the uninhabited rock, the will of the races that lived there will still go on. Civilizations from across the galaxy will revel in its recorded history, colonies of humans will explore the strange cultures that existed on it and alien races will tell stories of great men and women who have left such a mark on the world that time cannot possibly erase them."<br/><br/>"And it doesn't just stop at individuals," the Doctor said with his pearly mischievous smile as he looked up into the vast starry sky. "No one forgets the imprint that Earths countries have left. The Olympics still continues, the red poppy becomes a universal symbol to remember soldiers lost in war time, the day of the dead festival is celebrated on nineteen different worlds and holiday celebrations from Christmas to Halloween are accepted into hundreds of different cultures."<br/><br/>"Five Billion years and we are still growing and learning from both the past and the future. Things change and we roll with it, making the best of bad situations, breaking through obstacles and discovering incredible secrets," the Doctor said before chuckling warmly and dropping his head to look towards Robin. "Do you still want to see it all Robin? You've got a frustratingly long life ahead of you. That's a lot of time to explore"
