Earth didn't "blow up." i was there a few months ago, in fact. i cannot speak to what my ancestors were thinking at the time, since, again, it was ten thousand years ago. i believe it was a question of needing more room to expand, and Saturn being very large and therefore ideal for a massive station and settlement once they figured out how to colonize a gas giant. your use of an outmoded term like "clan" is interesting to me, however. i assume that's the phrase you would use for your own family group. care to elaborate?
