1. Thanks, that was fabulous.

Sagan was so prophetic.

2. How many rivers did we have to cross to find our way?

R&K

3. And bridges, I'd say today.

4. We need a revived national movement

This one, to place every conservative on Mars for a year so that they can marvel at what they treat on Earth as a commodity to be auctioned off to the highest bidder and always in the name of profit. To see first hand how they take from life on Earth and how precious the systems that surround us are. Everything that is taken for granted and callously raped in the name of short-term growth and prosperity.

Then they'll maybe see for the first time, that unless they're willing to stick it out on Mars for a billion or so years trying to find a way for life to take root and survive on another world, that what we have hear needs to be nurtured. Anything less, we do at our own peril.

5. He could sure put things in perspective.

All the inspiration I need on a lovely Sunday.

Thanks for posting.
