I have read Contact many times over since I first read it as a star struck Middle Schooler. Sagan understood so much; I believed then and still do....he was a man a generation or two ahead of his time.
I wish people would look about and see just how small we really are. A Dandelion puff. How vast and grand our astronomical surroundings are. I still satellite hunt and found out last Month that a fellow pilot friend of mine is a closet "space geek." Last week we hunted and found an Iridium flare together, it was amazing. Watching the flick, flack, fares of the heavens glint off the multifaceted wings of a long dead satellite. I could almost hear Carl saying "billions and billions" in my ear.
I trundle along in the shallow part of the heavens. I envy those who get to play in the deep end!

We're all here, because we're not all there!
