In the Year 2525

It's hard to know for sure when the Earth will be destroyed, but I figure the song is optimistic. By 2525 we'll have used the planet up, and we won't look back. Leaving all that mass in a lump of planet would be such a waste!

clue:

I made a rough extrapolation that humanity may use as much mass as the Earth in engineering projects by around the year 2450. A lot of it will be from other bodies, so I allowed extra time to finish off the planet.

Exponential growth does that.

take oh take this clue away
