However it was discovered in 2045 that this mining operation had destabilized large portions of the lunar surface. Scientists said that large pieces of the moon roughly the size of Manhattan would begin to collide with the earth by 2123 completely destroy all life on earth. This led to a massive colonization effort of Mars. Hydroponic systems began to be developed to provide food for the new colonies. Art and historical books were also sent to the colonies to preserve. Photographs documenting the history were also sent to Mars to preserve them. The global default was also relocated to Mars. By 2100 the first Martian colony was established.
