1. Kinda puts things in perspective.

[Justice matters.]

2. Yep. Although "predictions" at the end need to be taken with a grain...

of salt (re: Self-reproducing artificlal "lifeforms" sailing through the universe).

Since we're heading to the "Venus-like" environment a lot faster than predicted (Climate Change).

That, and this possibility:

3. Absolutely. Even astronomers say that.

I'm reading two books by this astophysicist, Paul M. Sutter, based on a very cool recommendation by a DU'er whose name I'm sorry I forgot.

Just finished Your Place In the Universe, which is hilarious in its layman's layout of astronomy's centuries of just trying to figure out what it all looks like, how big it is, and how old it is. I actually learned a lot of astronomy reading it.
Just starting his How To Die In Space, which proves why Earth is not only highly protected unlike any planet out there, but why there really is no Planet B, no matter how much Elon and his dudaires try for temporary shelter from climate crises. This book is more scary than any squid game episode or halloween movie.
