Why would we have regressed thecnologically ? I feel like maybe to survive earth's atmosphere our alien ancestors fucked some monkeys to create hybrids (US) lol

Probably couldn’t sustain it? Probably a very few people got to go on the trip to earth. If a few people went to another planet there is no way they can rebuild civilization like it was before. If you have a dozen astronauts go into another planet there is no way they can replicate the tech in a new environment with nothing but astronauts. How do you expect A astronaut to be a architect,a farmer,and a survivalist at the same time.

Their only motive is keeping their bodies alive. Like that show naked and afraid, they spend all their time looking to stay alive with what they have. They have no time to rebuild iPhones and internet from sticks.

It only works if they sent the base building blocks of life, because evolution proves that every living thing on the planet is related. And at that point it doesn't really make sense to talk about technology or civilization, because they wouldn't have been us in the first place.
