We Are One Species. We Are Starstuff.

We Are A Way Of The Universe Knowing Itself.

Better The Hard Truth, I Say, Than The Comforting Fantasy.

If Intelligence Is Our Only Edge, We Must Learn To Use It Better, To Shape It, To Understand Its Limitations And Deficiencies -- To Use It As Cats Use Stealth, As Katydids Use Camouflage -- To Make It The Tool Of Our Survival.

To Live In The Hearts Of Others Is To Never Die In Those We Leave Behind.

In Our Time, We Have Sifted The Sands Of Mars, We Have Established A Presence There, We Have Fulfilled A Century Of Dreams!
