contents Let $\mathbb{M} = \mathbb N \times [0,1]$. The natural projection $π: \mathbb{M} \rightarrow \mathbb N$, which sends $(n,x)$ to $n$, induces a projection mapping $π^*: \mathbb{M}^* \rightarrow \mathbb N^*$, where $\mathbb{M}^*$ and $\mathbb N^*$ denote the Čech-Stone remainders of $\mathbb{M}$ and $\mathbb N$, respectively. We show that $\mathsf{CH}$ implies every autohomeomorphism of $\mathbb N^*$ lifts through the natural projection to an autohomeomorphism of $\mathbb{M}^*$. That is, for every homeomorphism $h: \mathbb N^* \rightarrow \mathbb N^*$ there is a homeomorphism $H: \mathbb{M}^* \rightarrow \mathbb{M}^*$ such that $π^* \circ H = h \circ π^*$. This complements a recent result of the second author, who showed that this lifting property is not a consequence of $\mathsf{ZFC}$. Combining this lifting theorem with a recent result of the first author, we also prove that $\mathsf{CH}$ implies there is an order-reversing autohomeomorphism of~$\mathbb H^*$, the Čech-Stone remainder of the half line $\mathbb H = [0,\infty)$.
