The universe appears to be 13.8 billion years old
Earth is like four and a half billion years old
In another half billion years or so
The sun will expand and probably evaporate the oceans

And make life impossible on Earth
Which means that if it had taken consciousness 10% longer to evolve
It would never have evolved at all
Which is 10% longer

And I wonder..
I wonder how many dead one-planet civilizations there are out there in the cosmos
That never made it to the other planet and ultimately extinguished themselves
Or were destroyed by external factors

Probably a few
It's only just possible to..
To travel to Mars
Just barely

If G was 10% more, it wouldn't work, really
If G was 10% lower, it would be easy
Like, you can go single-stage from the surface of Mars all the way to the surface of the Earth
Because Mars is 30% of Earth's gravity

Channeling 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've ever heard of

Every human being who ever was
Lived out their lives
The aggregate of our joy and suffering
Thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines

Every hunter and forger
Every hero and coward
Every creator and destroyer of civilization
Every king and peasant

Every young couple in love
Every mother and father
Hopeful child
Inventor and explorer

Every teacher of morals
Every corrupt politician
Every..
Superstar

Every supreme leader
Every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there
On a moat of dust, suspended in a sunbeam
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
Mars
