  • William Shatner's Post-Flight Thoughts (commentary)
    2021/10/18

    Congratulations to William Shatner!

    "I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
    -- Isaac Newton (1642-1727), In Brewster, Memoirs of Newton (1855), vol II, Ch. 27
    -- Quoted by William Shatner, Oct. 13th

  • Escape To Mars: Moving Humanity Off Planet
    2021/10/10

    Impact threats are the most certain of any extinction-level events. Yet, despite the warnings of hundreds of scientists - we continue to dawdle in both our search for alternative, extraterrestrial, homes and the development of technologies to get there. Let's take a really good look at this, shall we?

    "All civilizations become either spacefaring or extinct."
    Carl Sagan (unsourced)

    "Since, in the long run, every planetary society will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring - not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive. And once you're out there in space for centuries and millennia, moving little worlds around and engineering planets, your species has been pried loose from its cradle."
    Carl Sagan - Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of The Human Future in Space p 173

    "If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds."
    Carl Sagan - Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of The Human Future in Space p 176
