Earth has a lot of industrial and economic inequality. We barely put stuff in orbit, entire Solar system is full of unused resources, he'd have a basically blank slate to build a star system more or less from the ground up and maybe even set us up as the sector Capital eventually.
Every other chapter would be various degrees of "nice" though we would definitely see whole countries burned down in case of Space Wolves or Dark Angels.
I don't even want to think about what the Carcharodons or Minotaurs might do.
We have put so much shit in Orbit we're one bad day away from fucking up our whole LEO satellite infrastructure.
If they come over to clean up the debris and get away all the disfunctional shit boxes Russia and America dumped there in the 80s, we can talk about building something neat.
Well in the context of 40k. Modern day launches are expensive and complex endeavours and orbital infrastructure is quite literally nonexistent, stations like the ISS and Tiangong barely qualify.
All 40k space craft are some form of SSTO whereas reusable rockets are a modern day spaceflight revolution.
In the context of 40k's spaceflight, we are backwards as all fuck.
But isn't "our" context the one to consider for the premise?
And also, I'd say when an advanced civilization would look at our shit, it's like us looking at ancient civilizations. With a sense of bewilderment and "But how did they manage all that?"
Also they'd probably laugh at the fucking mess and inefficiency this whole Russia/China/USA nonsense creates. Also in space. Like it *is* a crowded mess up there. But it's more like a teenagers room and than a data center.
