Just thinking

 If all the space ships people have been waiting on to take them from this troubled orb show up at the same time, we will have a very crowded sky. No air traffic control to assign landing sequence, no one to decide where rocket engine shuttles will land in order not to start fires, whether anti-grav shuttles may land in neighborhoods. 

That's negative thinking, though. People will continue to wait for their space ship. And that is a good thing. Waiting for the space ship is a sign of hope.
