I think whatever makes you "you" is DRM'd into your existing brain. Even if you copy your entire brain's worth of data to a new brain, your old brain still has "you" in it and the new brain has a copy of you. If both brains are online at the same time then there are two individual consciousnesses. So, someday in the future when we can copy our brains to brand new, younger, bodies we will need to make sure to offline our old brains as soon as possible to prevent too many copies from running around.

I think the offlining of the old brain will need to occur without the new copy being aware that this happens as part of the cloning procedure. It seems that this process would have the potential to generate "fear of offlining" at the end the current brain/body's useful lifespan.

We only been in space 400 years post reset.

We know that we lost alot of technology in the previous two resets.

Jove are technologically inferior to the Terrans.

Terran technology superiority was provable from 10k years ago.

Who knows what sort of things they are up to today. Hopefully self destruction becuase that is one invasion force we cannot repel.

u never know,
New eden can be a whole new universe... with new elements that make our ships superior. also the terrans might have fallen into civil war and other crap.
