Humanity determined its own destiny, and if it's destined to die, so be it. That doesn’t mean you won’t perform your duties, but you won’t feel dejected if things end up badly. You went through a lot during your life, and you learned how to adapt to every situation. Nothing can really faze you or take you by surprise.
The design of the Elon Musk is brilliant: a perfect example of experimental and innovative technology. During the construction, there have been several attempts at stealing its blueprints, without success.

What would humankind be, all so lost in the cosmic void and silence, without the ability to communicate? You are the one in charge of keeping the channel open.

And it is most certainly you who’s in charge of coordinating communications between spaceships in case of emergency. Sure, one could say yours is an easy job, but one must also acknowledge it is a vital job.
