Meaning of a sentence written about deceased Lynn Margulis, a prominent scientist.

Can you please explain the meaning of yellow backgrounder part. Thanks,

Her science took her, and us with it, along for a once-in a- lifetime ride not only into previously unrevealed regions within the wild geography of intellectual inquiry, but also back into the time of Earth’s earliest beginnings, when, as she never tired of pointing out, so very much had happened. Growing the grass for us even as we are paving the way—or maybe not—for a future we naïvely imagine is obligated to include us.

growing grass and paving the way both sound like good things to do. Other than that, I don't see a clear meaning in this sentence. Maybe the context that follows would help.
