Seven years ago, American scientists discovered a distant planet with the same climate, mass, and atmosphere as Earth.
The scientists were ecstatic and named it Planet G, formally written as "a planet suitable for migration."
The logic was simple: like whoever discovered the New World, I discovered it existed, so it was mine.
Of course, before confirming whether Planet G possessed an advanced civilization, they had to remain friendly. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who was the New World.
The American government excitedly formed a project team. After a series of document approvals, the result... was rejection.
The reason was simple and blunt: it cost too much!
Humanity could not even leave the solar system. Even if they confirmed that the planet was suitable for migration, all they could do for now was stare helplessly.
"Perhaps we can auction off land to real estate developers and sell houses a few cycles in advance. That way, we can raise funds for the project team."
It was a great suggestion, if a little fanciful, and was naturally rejected.
All the congressmen refused because the capitalists behind them feared the plan would cause housing prices in New York and Los Angeles to plummet, prices to decline year after year, and the average happiness index to rise.
Most importantly, America had only established friendly business cooperation with a certain country a few years earlier. With a new planet suddenly appearing, were they still going to sell oil or not?
This wrangling went on for an entire year.
The following year, NASA launched Operation Blazing Fire, attracting several world powers through investment promotion to jointly explore Planet G.
As the plan's initiator, America possessed veto power and successfully built an ultra-high-power data station on Oahu Island in the Hawaiian Islands.
