I found this to be a very interesting little story! Little blue childsized rabbits flying around in a skyacht studying the extinction of life as we know it. Hm .. that is a little bit scary.
The aliens don't seem to have a very accurate idea of how the world and the people that lived in it had been. They don't seem to understand how it all came to be, and/or how it worked.
Its interesting that the aliens are limited by the skyacht which was created to increase their capabilites and understanding. That applies to life as we know it as well. We keep creating things to make life "easier" but at the same time we are setting up even more boundaries. Technological advances have made things such as trans-continental communication much more affordable and quick. But at the same time, this same advancement has greatly diminished the occurence of face-to-face relations, physical activity and enjoyment of the simple things in life. Sometimes we are too caught up in the glitz to take a step back to smell the roses ....
Thats what this story made me think of .. the intrinsic parts of life that seem to go un-noticed in the face of "advancement"
