do not go gentle into that good night
old age should burn and rave at close of
day rage rage against the dying of the
light
far as we know this is the only place at
least in this part of the galaxy or in
the Milky Way where there is
consciousness and it's taken a long time
for us to get to this point
the wise men at their end know dark is
right because their words had forked no
lightning they do not go gentle into
that good night you came along two years
after Apollo 11 and yet space seems to
be in your marrow
Paul 11 landing on the moon was probably
the most inspiring thing gastric rage
rage against the dying of the light we
spring civilization being out there
among the stars this is one of the
things that I know makes it makes me
glad to be alive I think it makes many
people glad to be alive
it's one of the best things
they grieved it on its way do not go
gentle into that good night future do
you want do you want the future where
we've become a spacefaring civilization
and are in many worlds and now out there
among the stars or one where we are
forever confined to it the rage rage
against the dying of them as far as we
know we are the only consciousness or
the only life that's out there
rage rain
the dying which future do you want do
you want the future where we become a
spacefaring civilization and are in many
worlds and now out there among the stars
or one where we are forever confined to
earth then I say it is the first we
started out seventeen years ago
direct off
a spacefaring civilization being out
there among the stars this is one of the
things that I know it makes it makes me
glad to be alive I think it makes many
people glad to be alive
it's one of the best things I kept
expecting that we would continue beyond
hello a level that we would have a base
on the moon that we would be sending
people to Mars and here we are 2019 the
United States actually does not yet have
the ability to send people even to
low-earth orbit what fires you up like
what gets you excited about being alive
you want to believe that we're here to
be out there among the stars and that's
that's the thing that I mean I get
really excited about that kind of future
I think most people do
consciousness is a very rare and
precious thing and we should take
whatever steps we can to preserve the
light of consciousness and the window
the window has been open only now after
four and a half billion years is that
window open there's a long time to wait
and it might not stay open for long
there's some chance that window will not
be open for long I think we should
become a multi planet civilization while
that window is open and we should do it
now
