Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still.

''I didn't make a decision to pursue astronomy. Rather, it just grabbed me, and I had no thought of escaping.''

"Evolution is a fact, not a theory. It really happened, and the fossil record and the molecular biology all confirm it. And yet, in this country, the United States, which is the leading scientific country in the world, we have people who are not only ignorant of science, but who are actively hostile to it and to the scientific method. And that is a serious problem, because science is not just a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. It's a way o skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine undersanding of human fallibility." -- Carl Sagan

“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” ― Carl Sagan

There have always been people actively hostile towards science and the scientific method.

We just didn't have an entire political party vote them into office or put them on SCOTUS.

Just think of all the countless petty squabbles and misunderstandings, of all the fervent hatreds, over so insignificant a thing as the direction and duration of a rocket engine firing.

Earth [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[Carl Sagan stands in front of a black screen with a terribly tiny blue dot in the middle, raising his right hand back to indicate it.] Carl: Look again at that dot. That's home. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives... Carl: On a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. Off-panel voice: We know, Carl.

Caption: Carl Sagan was not making us feel better about how badly he'd messed up the low Earth orbit reentry burn.
