Finishing Beethoven's Lost 10th Symphony and Jurassic Park

Ludwig van Beethoven died before he could finish his 10th Symphony. For nearly two centuries, musicologists have explored his notes and sketches to imagine the symphony that he never created. Now a team of computer scientists and musicians has released the long lost 10th symphony, meticulously recreated from his notes and filled in with smart AI learning technology. The two year journey to rebuild an entire symphony from just the remainders of concepts and notes is a fascinating story.
It is a combination of discovering history and creating it simultaneously. This drive to finish the unfinished is something that humanity may need more of, considering the likely number of projects that were abandoned due to Covid-19.
One, for example, was an amusement park about three hours outside of Moscow that was created with life size dinosaur replicas. Since it was abandoned, those dinosaurs are standing around in tall grass waiting to be useful again.
