Genialitet

We live at a moment when our relationships to each other, and to all other beings with whom we share this planet, are up for grabs.

We have swept through all of the planets in the solar system, from Mercury to Neptune, in a historic 20 (to) 30 year age of spacecraft discovery,

Are we an exceptionally unlikely accident or is the universe brimming over with intelligence? (It's) a vital question for understanding ourselves and our history,

In our time, we have sifted the sands of Mars, we have established a presence there, we have fulfilled a century of dreams!

The significance of a finding that there are other beings who share this universe with us would be absolutely phenomenal, it would be an epochal event in human history,

What's the harm of a little mystification? It sure beats boring statistical analyses.
