Why is that machine? Sprout of tree evolution, limb protruding from the galaxy, random cluster in the nebula of pr

According to an assessment made two months ago, the monument is in a state of heavy disrepair and under risk of collapsing in the event of a lot of people being there at one time.

In the past, a lot of develope
