Decades into the future, global warming and climate change has reached catastropic levels beyond repair. As a result, many species of plants started to go extinct. Oxygen levels were being depleted and soon animals start to go extinct. Although humanity has resources saved, including oxygen, food, and water, they were owned by greedy cooporate officials. They were willing to give away these resources, but at high prices. Many people died because they couldn't afford the necessities for survival. With the human population rapidly declining, there was hardly anyone left to buy resources. Soon, civilizations collapsed due to these economic and enviromental failures and humans nearly went extinct. The thousands of remaining humans fled to space with the resources they managed to save. Thousands of years later, humans returned to Earth to find that vegetation has been florishing. Cautiously, they sent teams of researchers in ships called, Terra-Grades, to determine the habitability of Earth.

The Terra-Grades are modeled after the microanimal Tardigrades, affecionately known as waterbears. They are mobile laboratories for the researchers of Earth biology. Kept afloat with anti-gravity technology, they slowly move around the Earth. The claw-like anteneae at their "paws" are used to collect air, soil, and water samples so that scientists can determine if the environment is sustainable to humans or not.

This ship was modeled entirely on Blender. For the colors, I mostly choose earth tones to represent it's purpose as a Earth research vehicle. I choose the waterbear as the inspiration for this ship due to its role as a pioneer species. In this universe, the humans are reintroduced to Earth after thousands of years away. Does this mean I better future for the planet or will history repeat itself?
