[close] Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space ~ Carl Sagan “Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.  The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny #world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”  Join us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JJBOOKS100?s=09

[close] There are five habitable planets. Earth, which is inhabitable now. Persephone, a planet for the rich and powerful. This planet is full of lush green valleys and tropical foods. Xena, a worker planet. Where most people go to work, mining all of its natural resources for the other planets uses. Nuna, a small planet, no bigger than the moon. With harsh cold temperatures, but a great atmosphere. Voltor, a planet for refugees from the dying earth. Overpopulated and being destroyed quickly by pollution, this planet is similar to earth but more fragile.
