300 + light years away from the third rock

One final thought - nothing scientific, purely personal. Seen from up here, everything looks different … Time bends and space is boundless. It squashes a man’s ego. He begins to feel like no more than a mote in the eye of eternity. And he is nagged by a question: what, if anything will greet us on the end of man’s first journey to a star? Are we to believe that throughout these thousands of galaxies, these millions of stars, only one, that speck of solar dust we call earth, has been graced — or cursed by human life?
I have to doubt it.
—- Col. Taylor, Planet of the Apes (1968)
