The Pale Blue Dot
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Blue_Dot
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.
– Carl Sagan
