If there is one thing I can say for humanity, it's that we aren't dead yet. Sometimes I wonder if all the stars in the sky are the radiant beacons left by other civilizations long past -- radioactive warning posts of cosmic proportions. Hanging in the sky, exploding gently as a reminder of the cost inherent in crash-testing atoms. Yet there is no way I would presume to cease our exploration, or heed these neon hell-signs. I would rather we go out in the blaze of our own madness -- leaving in our wake a legacy of destruction, set to warm some new Terra and shed light on the mistakes of those who come next. If we are to fail, I hope it to be definitive. I hope we take entire star systems with us in our passing.
