Further Up Yonder: A Message from ISS to All Humankind

NASA Television shares this inspiring production by Italian videomaker, Giacomo Sardelli, about the International Space Station, its inhabitants, and its role in space exploration. Sardelli writes of the video, "I'm not the first one to use NASA's pictures taken from the International Space Station to craft a Timelapse video. You can find many of them on the Internet, that's where my inspiration came from. What I wanted to do, though, was to look beyond the intrinsic beauty of those pictures, and use them to tell a story and share the messages sent by the astronauts who worked on the station in the last 11 years."

If we have no faith in humanity, what's the point in living? It's a loser's perspective (no offense intended). The only way to succeed is to have the imagination to see how things could be and pursue that vision relentlessly. That's how winning is done. It's not guaranteed; but, it's possible. And that makes it worthwhile because a chance of success is far better than guaranteed failure.

There is a God, and He is saddened that you choose not to believe in Him. Oh well, it's your loss.

Youtube needs to add a "love" button because "like" isn't enough.

Moreover, if you know about Europa, there are high probability of finding life also there, under the ice surface. This would mean a lot. Two planets with life in just one system.

Of course it is not sure yet. In some decades Nasa will send a rover to Europa and we will see who was right :)

we do have proofs. And there are many evidences indeed. Scientists that are working on the Kepler mission agree defining a number of at least 500millions of like - Earth planets in the Milky Way ( you just have to search on the web ). From my point of view matem. is not an opinion. If we have a very very high probability of life somewhere in the universe, so it is. Remember that for every grain of sand on the Earth there are 600millions stars in the universe.
