Over 100 billion people have lived on our planet.
Just 622 have been to space.
Just 12 have set foot on another celestial object, our barren moon.
Not a single human has been to another planet.
We know of no other planet that can sustain human life.
Why is it so damn hard to get people to care about protecting the only home we've ever had and the only place we can live?
There is, except for large number theory, no evidence of life anywhere else in the universe.
The calm belief that this gossamer puff of life clinging to rock, is permanent or strong confuses me.
Adding to Augie Ray's math based points about humans taking earth for granted.
I dont know how you got those questions from my contribution to Augie's concern that we dont know how stupidly we're acting. How badly we are treating an interconnected fragile self supporting life system.
Yes, I was agreeing with him dramatically and my point was lost in the thunder. I could be less florid, thanks for the reminder.
Thank you again for the reminder.
