What an incredibly inspiring video. In many ways, my fascination with space mirrors my fascination with the divine. Both instill an incredible humility when confronted with the infinitesimal smallness of not only myself, but of all humanity. And yet, here we are—thinking, doing, and searching for meaning in this vastness of existence.
From The Week:
[This inspirational] fan-made NASA promotional video blends NASA footage, the readings of the late beloved astronomer Carl Sagan, and a minimalist score to build support for the beleaguered space program. And it’s so inspiring, “it’s likely to make you reconsider your own life path.”
From Carl Sagan’s voiceover:
“Our remote descendants, safely arrayed on many worlds through the solar system and beyond, will be unified by their common heritage, by their regard for their home planet, and by the knowledge that whatever other life may be, the only humans in all the universe come from Earth. They will gaze up, and strain to find the blue dot in their skies. They will marvel at how vulnerable the repository of all our potential once was. How perilous our infancy. How humble our beginnings. How many rivers we had to cross, before we found our way.”
