    Were it not for @NASA & kindred programs of discovery, I wonder what hope would remain for our species to rise above itself.

        @neiltyson @NASA That implies that there is hope that the human race will rise above itself. Most indicators point the other way.

        @neiltyson @NASA It’s a nice hope, but we’re still human. We always bring our problems with us. Why would the final frontier be different?
