Because they couldn't find it...that means it went to an alternate reality Earth. So, it would seem that, if anything, the probe made the alternate time line.

Also, yes it is a huge presumption that it's an AU. because a volcanic eruption or massive earthquake, or heck the extinction event meteor could have destroyed it.sigpic

I would suspect the commander of tampering if his desire to 'fix' the future was enough that he'd perpetrate the 'it's an alternate tmeline so nothing we do matters' fallacy so that he could get his chance to fix his own future (even if his future is millions of the years in the future, he'd be trying to save humans from destroying the planet)
it'd be in line with his opening speech, how the future was messed up by humans.

While interesting, I do think they have to be in a completely different time line (AU) just like they have stated, otherwise it really f's things up and in theory should erase their past (Earth's future).
Say they are still in the same time line that they originally came from. Giving humans a huge jump start on polluting the planet seems like a surefire way to make sure your future doesn't exist at all because they will have already created this polluted Earth millions of years before the point in time they left from. While they may go back with good intentions, there is no way that that would carry forward for generations to come. I'm certainly not one of those anti-human types, but there are plenty of people that are pigs...as evident by the amount of trash that litters roadways, etc.IMO always implied.

Plus the fact that they only send ~100 people per year gives them time to make sure they have enough resources for them instead of taking as much as they could for 50,000 people who show up at once.I'VE GONE WIKI-MAD!!!!

Think of all the pollution that could be avoided if we redid the past and skipped all the fossil fuels. We 'undo' a century of CO2 emissions by going straight to solar and wind. No coal, no oil, no gas cars.
Make everything recyclable and you have no landfills. Never use paper and you save tons of trees.
You use the lessons we've learned over the past few decades and we don't make the mistakes again.

It's possible that Taylor is thinking that they can't save them all, not all the humans from the future, but maybe enough to change the future for the better.
On the other side of the coin, imagine your wealth if you call dibs on the major diamond and gold deposits? Greed could be the motivator for the 'other side'
