THE PALE BLUE DOT! WATCH, LISTEN, REMEMBER...
Many of you may, and I say may, remember Carl Edward Sagan who was an American astronomer, planetary scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, and science communicator.
ABOUT CARL SAGAN:
"His best known scientific contribution is research on extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by radiation. Carl Sagan passed on to eternity at the age of 59... His life cut short by Cancer...
myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), which is one of a group of cancers in which immature blood cells in the bone marrow do not mature, so do not become healthy blood cells.
Sagan assembled the first physical messages sent into space, the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. Sagan argued the hypothesis, accepted since, that the high surface temperatures of Venus can be attributed to, and calculated using, the greenhouse effect." Wikipedia

MY COMMENTS:
This video is about our Planet...Our planet Earth and given the plethora of seemingly agonizing struggles for power around our magnificent planet Earth... We, the people, are struggling with everyday life, life that has become very complex, not knowing what we will wake up to each day and dreading the uncertain future of mankind...
I ask you to watch this video in Full Screen and LISTEN, really listen to what Carl Sagan is broadcasting to us... Focus on the Earth, listen to his words, watch the blue marble become smaller and smaller against a backdrop of hundred's of thousands of galaxies and other celestial bodies in our Universe... How small we are in this maze of blackness infiltrated with specs of blue light. Is it time to focus on the positive? Is it time for the global citizenry to take charge of where our leaders take us? Or are we so blind that we cannot see that we are hastening our very demise as a humanoid species... Think about that for a minute or three...
