The predictions of Carl Sagan are in fact true, we are well on our way to a Type One Civilization.

" We embarked on our cosmic voyage with a question first framed in the childhood of our species and in each generation asked anew with undiminished wonder: What are the stars? Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars."

Video clips from: Planet Earth, Home, Timescape, Power of the Planet, Roving Mars,
Zietgist, History Channel, Discovery HD.

  • Beautiful!!

  • According to the founder of Scientology L. Ron Hubbard, the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy" Xenu who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of his people to Earth in a DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes and killed them using hydrogen bombs. He used the IRS to gather the people. Source Wikipedia

  • @Mandrak789 L R Hubbard had the same idea of our beginning.

  • Maybe the best clip on youtube...

  • @Mandrak789 wrong. humanity will use technology to destroy us.

  • i wonder, do you think we could just be some giant reality show from some intelligent life form out there? for example the aliens found a "Kepler-22b" like planet and it just happen to be our and were like "oh i bet that planet has life on it. lets check it out" they get to about 100AU away from earth and observe us while we're engaging in WW2. figure there's no point in coming to visit and have just been watching us ever since saying things like "i hope those Led Zeppelins play on MTV again"

  • @BenIGreen Compare the upload dates.

  • I was getting choked up at the end and heard the marimba line from the zeitgeist and got pissed off.

  • @2jfw as much as i would like to entertain this trite possibility just for Carl's sake, this is quite insulting to the campaign he made against psuedoscience and superstition. i know you probably respected/loved the guy as much as i do but don't cheapen him with such insinuations.
