johnthecook…If they are holes so that we can breathe, they did NOT just appear there by chance or accident. Ther shear odds of that happening are incalculable!
What a long way we have come in a mere hundred years! That’s one optimist’s lifetime. Compare this to the over two hundred thousand years we have been a species. Knowledge and technology have exploded in a mere instant of geologic time and it is unprecedented. Collective wisdom, however, has definitely lagged as evidenced by continuing wars and ecological damage to the only planet we have. We now know that other suns (stars) are more numerous than grains of sand on all the beaches, Whatever mysterious cause set the universe in motion, one thing is clear, at least to me: the possibilities for our future are entirely up to us.
Love the caption!
I found it in one of my Christmas catalogs among the slogans for t-shirts. I loved it.
A good, sensible and useful thing to do, to think about it ..
Thinking is a good thing, I’ve always thought.
And I think you’re right ! 🙂
Great minds think alike!
Just what we all need today
Yep

That’s the point. We could be just bugs in some giant alien’s jar.

I agree. I think the so called “space race” has become a race to settle another planet before we destroy this one.
