"We on Earth have just awakened to the great oceans of space and time from which we have emerged. We are the legacy of 15 billion years of cosmic evolution. We have a choice: we can enhance life and come to know the universe that made us, or we can squander our 15-billion-year heritage in meaningless self-destruction. What happens in the first second of the next cosmic year depends on what we do, here and now, with our intelligence and knowledge of the cosmos." -Carl Sagan, Cosmos: A Personal Journey, episode 1, The Shores of the Cosmic Ocean

This might be one of my new favorite television series. <3
