We're getting very smart, fast. We cause many probs in this place, but we seem to be a sucessfull species. I see the start of a revolution in the way we live from a "natural" world, to what I'd call a personal world. We may be able organise the universe around us to provide our needs, and leave us to our internal struggles.

This species won't forget the place our recorded history started. I hope we record as much as poss about this place so we can share this with sucessive generations.

Well, once we've satisfactorily destroyed the earth, maybe my grandchildren will live on Mars. We destroy and we'll create. In a sense, we're just a natural process on this world. It's interesting to think about what if we kill ourselves and most of the world and then millions of years later another intelligent being will arise and analyze our fossils and the effect we had on Earth. What a mind fuck.

Yeah, that guy's a real living fossil.
