<p class="p__0">Look once again at that dot. That's here. That's house. That's us. On it everybody you enjoy, everybody you know, everybody you ever became aware of, every human who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of positive religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every developer and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mom and dad, hopeful kid, innovator and explorer, every instructor of morals, every corrupt politician, every "super star," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-- on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.</p>

<p class="p__3">Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the minute the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been stated that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is maybe no much better presentation of the recklessness of human conceits than this distant picture of our tiny world.</p>
