Tobias skickade mig precis en av de bästa remixarna på hela Youtube, eller för att citera exakt vad jag sa till Tobbe efter att ha sett den.

"Åh, helt underbart jävla vacker!"

Framförallt är refrängen alldeles, alldeles, underbar:

"A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way"

Det är vad man kallar sublimt och Sense-of-Wonder!

Detta är vad det handlar, detta är varför universum alltid gör mig tårögd och jag vägrar sluta drömma mig bort bland stjärnorna i universum, eller som en kommentar som alldeles nyss skrivits till klippet:

"Because it is the only long-term strategy to ensure the survival of the human race.
Because it inspires and adds grace and beauty to the human endeavor.
Because it generates tremendous technical insights and numerous spinoffs that help people directly.
Because space science includes earth science, like monitoring environmental devastation from space, the prevention of which will help agriculture and help feed more people."

Eller som en annan sa:

"I believe the human species has incredible potential. We are on the verge of being able to design life from scratch, and even potentially control our own evolution. It may be us, it may be something spawned from us, as you say. Either way, we are only taking, now, the first baby steps towards our true potential. As far as I am concerned, there is no limit to what our species can achieve, through spirituality AND science. Sky's the limit...in this case the universe is the limit."

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe

Space is filled with a network of wormholes
You might emerge somewhere else in space
Some when-else in time

The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars

A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way

The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths
Of exquisite interrelationships
Of the awesome machinery of nature

I believe our future depends powerfully
On how well we understand this cosmos
In which we float like a mote of dust
In the morning sky

But the brain does much more than just recollect
It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes
it generates abstractions

The simplest thought like the concept of the number one
Has an elaborate logical underpinning
The brain has it's own language
For testing the structure and consistency of the world

A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way

The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars

[Hawking]
For thousands of years
People have wondered about the universe
Did it stretch out forever
Or was there a limit

From the big bang to black holes
From dark matter to a possible big crunch
Our image of the universe today
Is full of strange sounding ideas

[Sagan}
How lucky we are to live in this time
The first moment in human history
When we are in fact visiting other worlds

A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way

A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way

The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean
Recently we've waded a little way out
And the water seems inviting
