      Given that the planets in our solar system have been around for millions and millions of years, 2000 years isn’t very long. So I’d be surprised if there a was any significant change in the planets in our solar system in the next 2000 years. I’m not sure why having life on them, or not, makes any difference to that?

      Agree with Kevin – 2000 years is a terrible short time if you “ask” a planet. Perhaps you’re asking a question in the similar spirit of “if a tree falls in a forest and there’s no one around to see or hear it, does it really fall?”
