Agreed, however the alignment of the zeros is a more evocative excuse for
a new start than 2,001. That would be a good excuse to start a worldwide
effort to colonise another world, which probably soon or maybe later will
be sorely needed, by this planet at least, maybe not the new one.
This planet needs excuses for unity, and sooner is better I think.
