    Ya. Until we know everything then we can start playing with off world NHI but first we need to stop hating each other’s religions. Won’t make it, a yellowstone or Solar Flare will get us first.

    How do we show the beauty of life to the world? Some people just don’t care and I feel bad for them for not appreciating how full of life every square inch of Earth is! Even in the clouds there’s microorganisms!
