If You Lined Up All The Cars

"sooner Or Later Disasters Such As An Asteroid Collision Or A Nuclear War Could Wipe Us All Out, But Once We Spread Out Into Space And Establish Independent Colonies, Our Future Should Be Safe."

Chaos, When Left Alone, Tends To Multiply.

People Won't Have Time For You If You Are Always Angry Or Complaining.

The Intelligent Beings In These Regions Should Therefore Not Be Surprised If They Observe That Their Locality In The Universe Satisfies The Conditions That Are Necessary For Their Existence. It Is A Bit Like A Rich Person Living In A Wealthy Neighborhood Not Seeing Any Poverty.

If We Can Avoid Disaster For The Next Two Centuries, Our Species Should Be Safe As We Spread Into Space. If We Are The Only Intellegent Beings In The Galaxy We Should Make Sure We Survive And Continue. . . . Our Only Chance Of Long-term Survival Is Not To Remain Inward Looking On Planet Earth But To Spread Out Into Space. We Have Made Remarkable Progress In The Last Hundred Years. But If We Want To Continue Beyond The Next Hundred Years, Our Future Is In Space.
