Coupling Carl Sagan's narration to the up-to-date videos really drives home Sagan's point that we are evolving continuously- a very nice little prize. There were no wind farms, Iraqi fire fields, Deepwater oil fires before Sagan died- and now they are just normal recent memories. Yet, they fit as backgrounds perfectly as he pointed out the people that reach the stars will not be like us- they will be new versions of us. A hopeful point- troubles come and go, but time and change are continuous. Thanks!

Their own dusty, empty realms instead if flooding into civilised countries to live off their systems that those countries forged from the blood of their people and the fruit of the earth upon which they lived, simply to better the world. For abolition of slavery what do they get? For science what do they get? For technology what do they get? Kalashnikov rounds fired at satirical news papers. Bombs at teenage concerts. Women, children murdered. That what they get. Free a savage, and he will come back to enslave you. Mark my words Europe is in the process of leading that now.
