    Neil deGrasse Tyson never fails to expand my mind. This interview on The Late Show really puts things into perspective. In a good way. Knowing I am a blip in time and space makes me want to live life to the fullest, and stop worrying about stuff that doesn't really matter.

    This is Sagan's Pale Blue Dot that he referenced. It's something that every human needs to hear, probably more than once.

    Sagan really nailed this, and it's a shame that humans, confine themselves to races/creeds/religions. Imagine what we could accomplish as a species. There are SO MANY talented, gifted, capable minds out there, often dismissed because of prejudice. Life is too short to make others shorter, we can ALL learn from our fellow humans.
