We used all the easy to use fuel.

Any civilization that comes after us, human or not, will have a much tougher time sustaining a technological society capable of spaceflight.

We also might cause Kessler syndrome, which may also be fairly problematic for a future wannabe spacefaring society.

Our own current society, even if it wasn't as unstable as it is, well, its literally burning through all the good stuff, which creates an inescapable problem of energy just getting more and more expensive over time, unless you manage to use the 'buff' from carbon based fuel sources to actually develop a civilization that can keep working once all thats left is too expensive to access.

If you don't clear that hurdle, and/or blow yourselvs up in the process... whatever comes afterward has relics of advanced manufacturing processes, and has a very, very hard time getting all the links in those chains to work again.

This applies to things beyond oil... they're called non-renewable resources for a reason.

Life started very early on, possibly soon after the surface cooled enough for water to condense. We're in the midpoint of a typical yellow dwarf star like the Sun, and as I said, the Sun's conditions start changing long before the red giant phase. I don't see where you get not even being halfway.

I wasn't claiming man as ultimate, but just the only species I've noticed that managed to find a way to escape the Earth's biosphere (briefly). It won't happen again. No hubris, just a matter of time.
